http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqVWZcxAsrs&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SPEDEE2F7C6750729F


This is the first in a tutorial series on how to use the programs Maxima and wxMaxima. Maxima is a free and open source math program that is incredibly useful because it does algebra instead of just numeric calculations.This first video is introductory material, which explains what a CAS is, what Maxima is, where Maxima is, and what wxMaxima is. If you just want to know how to use the program, you can probably skip to the next video with no problem.
