Package: xmaxima Version: 5.9.1-12 Severity: normal Hi,
| Description: A fairly complete computer algebra system-- x interface | Maxima is a full 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. | . | This package contains an X Windows interface using the tcl/tk | libraries. several things: * a blank in front of "--" is missing * "full_ly_ symbolic computation program" * what are "bigfloats" in _symbolic_ computation? * there is a "debugger" too much in the 3rd sentence. * "1970s" without the "'". * how does the "fairly" from the short description relate to the extended? Which part is not "complete"? * I have a reasonable background in mathematics, and have never heard of "Todd-coxeter" - what's that? (It sounds quite special among those other rather general terms.)
