[nabs-l] [Blindmath] wxMaxima -- an accessible, computer algebra system

[Jamal Mazrui]

It seems rare these days to find sophisticated software with a 
graphical user interface that is accessible, even though that was 
apparently not a design goal of the project.  Thus, I want to 
encourage folks to check out wxMaxima if they have an interest in 
using software for mathematics work, or if they have an interest in a 
cross-platform development approach that results in accessible GUIs.

wxMaxima is a free, open source "computer algebra system" available at

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/


It uses wxWidgets as its GUI library, which wraps native controls of 
the operating system, and hence, implements the accessible API of 
that platform.  It includes the Maxima console-mode, command-line 
interface as well, which is also accessible with any screen reader.

In my opinion, this project is worth spreading the word about and 
showing support for!
