Octave is a different animal. It is a Matlab workalike and does numerical stuff but doesn't do symbolic algebraic manipulation. BTW I think both Octave and Maxima use Gnuplot for their graphical output and it can do 3 axis plots. Glenn Chris O'Halloran wrote:
Have a look around for Octave although I am not sure if there has been much development in recent years

Folks,
Does anybody have personal experience of open source equivalents?
I see Maxima, Mathomatic and mupad on the web but wondering if anybody has used...
I am looking at packages that do algebraic manipulation, solving and 3D graphing.
On the surface Maxima looks quite good for this.
