Maxima is the closest free-software to Maple and Mathematica, and just needs more users, more tutorials, howtos, simple examples and course ware that use Maxima instead of the proprietary tools. > There is also a shortage of unified, educationally sound mathematics > curriculum in many of these areas. in any field of science this is the same ... I volunteer to help with that (I am a physics teacher at secondary level) Regards, Nicolas -- Nicolas Pettiaux - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
