Maxima

Welcome to ruby's best Maxima integration!

Ruby developers have, for as long as I can remember, had a disheveled heap of scientific and mathematical libraries - many of which operate in pure ruby code. Given a problem we either kludge together some cobbled mess or turn to Python/R/etc. And to this I say no more! rb_maxima allows a ruby developer to directly leverage the unbridled power of the open source, lisp powered, computer algebra system that is Maxima!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rb_maxima'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rb_maxima

$ brew install maxima

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/danieth/rb_maxima.
