• Calculus operations (differentiation, integration)
• Tensor and differential geometry
• Polynomial factorization
• Laplace/Fourier transforms

Usage Guidelines

1. Command Syntax: Use Maxima command conventions
2. Simplification: Apply ratsimp, radcan, trigsimp as appropriate
3. Calculus: Use diff, integrate, limit functions
4. Output Formatting: Control display with display options

Tools/Libraries

• Maxima
