Maxima 12

This document provides instructions for installing the Maxima computer algebra system on Windows. It explains how to download the .exe file from the Maxima website, run through the installation process, and find the installed Maxima directory. It then describes how to run Maxima either through the wxMaxima GUI or from the command line. The document concludes by explaining how to use Maxima to find the cofactors, determinant, adjoint and inverse of a matrix by loading the matrix package and using the determinant, adjoint and invert functions.

Installing on

Windows
Here is where your presentation begins
Introduction
Maxima is a free, open-source computer algebra system
that is primarily used for symbolic computation. It has a
usable front-end graphical user interface (GUI)
Download

To download the .exe file of maxima follow the steps below:

● Visit
https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Windows/5.47.0
-Windows/
● Click on Download Button and save the file.

Latest Version: 5.47


Install

- To install Maxima click on the downloaded file and agree to all terms
and conditions, finish the setup.
- Once the installation process ends, look in the directory where you
installed Maxima. The directory will be something similar to C:\maxima-
5.47
You have succesfully
installed

Maxima
Run Maxima
To run Maxima

● Run wxMaxima (GUI for Maxima)


● Now You can solve Mathematical Problems

And the most important thing:

To run with Terminal


●If you have installed it in C:\maxima-5.47.0
●Then run .\bin\wxmaxima in the above location.
Find cofactors, determinant,
adjoint and inverse of a matrix.
Determinant: The determinant of a matrix is a valuable mathematical concept that
provides information about the matrix's properties and is used in a wide range of
mathematical and practical applications.\
Adjoint: The adjoint of a matrix is a new matrix obtained by taking the transpose of the
cofactor matrix. It's used to find the inverse of a square matrix.
Inverse: The inverse of a matrix is a special matrix that, when multiplied by the original
matrix, gives you the identity matrix.
Cofactor: A cofactor of a matrix is a small number associated with each element of the
matrix

Start Maxima
1. Load the Maxima ‘matrix’ package.

2. Define your Matrix


3. To calculate Determinant, We use ‘determinant’ function of Maxima.
4. To calculate Adjoint, We use ‘adjoint’ function of Maxima.
5. To calculate Inverse, We use ‘invert’ function of Maxima.
Thanks!
