Good symbolic mathematics packages?












5















I recently moved from Mac OS X to Ubuntu, and I'd like to (as much as possible) only use free software on my new machine. As a theoretical ecologist, I used to rely a lot on Mathematica, and even though there is a Linux version out there, I'd really rather use something free.



Some people have mentioned Maxima and sympy (both are fine with me), but I'd really love to hear about other alternatives, and people's experiences with any of these packages.

    Wrt Maxima, install wxmaxima. It is a GUI that is widely used: andrejv.github.io/wxmaxima

Ubuntu ships with python (by default),and there are plenty of useful python packages available. You would find numpy and matplotlib very useful since you are coming from mathematica.

            Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

            Image
            up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
