Hello,

I'm using maxima as a smart calculator while working on my documents inside
lyx and it is working quite well. I also use wxmaxima by itself to make
some calculations and symbolic math easily.

I wish I could do both.  I wonder if I can open maxima session using a
command at lyx which will evaluate all maxima indicated cells and help me
create my smart document.
My final goal is to be able to create nice documents (which lyx does just
great) and be able to use some symbolic math and simple function plots
(which maxima does well) but today it is just not possible to combine the
two.

for example, I want to define varibales at the start of the document.
something like

var1:2 , var2:13

and then later to do

ans:var1^2 + var2

today I'm unable to do so :(

I am aware that wxmaxima can use latex text output but it lacks the nice
GUI of LyX which I'm very found of and it also lacks the support for hebrew
that LyX has.

can we combine the two worlds into a better future?

Rami
