+Maxima is a symbolic computation program. It is full featured,
+doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
+functions, integration, Todd-coxeter, graphing, bigfloats. It has a
+symbolic debugger source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
+based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970's. It is
+quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
+It comes with hundreds of self tests.
