I don't think there is any intention. That code was not fundamentally touched for more than a decade and I doubt it's because it matured :) Currently you can type some statement in math editor, trigger in menu CAS, which will evaluate it & put the result back behind '=' in math editor. Relevant part of the code where one could start and check how diffcult the implementation might be is in mathed/MathExtern.cpp. > > In past I even tried to create 'fancy' calculator build on top of lyx > > which used lyx math editor + maxima in the background, but at the > > end I found myself using only maxima itself most of the time. > > When there is interest, then someone (interested) should perhaps help me > finding the relevant parts of the existing code an explain how the > workflow is an what would have to be done to integrate FriCAS.

Sorry for not being more positive, but for this we'd need likely avid user of both LyX and FriCASs. We can wait if someone else pops up (Hi Enrico:), but given the definition above I am afraid we are in the no interest branch of universe...
