Description of Maxima on Android

Maxima, a full featured computer algebra system, now runs on your Android mobile devices. Maxima, and its predecessor Macsyma is one of the most long-established software in the world, back in 1960s at MIT LCS and Project Mac. You can perform many many math operations such as integration, differentiation, matrix operations, rational numbers, symbolic treatment of constants such as pi, e, euler's gamma, symbolic and numerical treatment of special functions such as sin(x), cos(x), log(x), exp(x), zeta(s), and many more.
Maxima on Android is a port of Maxima on the Android operating system. Thanks to Sylvain Ageneau' effort on porting Embeddable Common Lisp to the Android OS, the latest Maxima code runs nicely on ECL on Android with very small changes to the source code.
Maxima on Android is a combination of many open source software: ECL on Android, MathJax, and Maxima itself. I wrote roughly a thousand lines of Java code and a hundred lines of HTML including Javascript code.
The installation of the software requires total of 90MB on the storage. 30MB needs to be installed on the internal storage. The rest of 60MB can be installed either on the external or the internal storage. The first run of the apk will ask you where you want the 60MB to be installed.
Then you can enjoy Maxima / Macsyma on your mobile phone or tablet based on Android OS.

  Great app! Love to do math on go! Btw, it seems there's a bug in command radcan: substituted numerical value gives different value when done after expand command versus radcan command. Results should be obviously same. EDIT: Found the reason. My expression contains product arguments of square root. radcan function distributes all these products to products of square roots, and square root isn't distributive over complex numbers. Declaring complex variable didn't solve the issue.

  It's fine but Wolfram alpha is better at problem solving.l recommend to improve this ACS so as to solve most of the problems

  Older plot() function shows output. The draw() function can't display.

  Missing all labels for output and intermediate expressions. Reformatting to fit the display width is slow and often unhelpful (see behavior of "disolate"). Too few choices of text size; numeric input would be better. Autocompletion suggestions cause the input bar to lose focus. For complicated inputs, multiple lines are needed. Saving a backup session after each output would protect against lost work when Maxima misbehaves.

  This is an awesome idea to port this project to android. I have successfully tried a few things of it but unfortunately I encountered a problem with the fft package which I couldn't load. I hope you guys will fix this soon.
