Maxima yields high precision numerical results by using exact fractions, arbitrary-precision integers and variable-precision floating-point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. Maxima is written in CommonLisp and based on the DOE Macsyma that was developed at MIT."
