Math programs: gnuplot, maxima and friends, maple

12.56: Installing gnuplot. Installing maxima. Installing xmaxima.

13.10: Downloading and installing imaxima (emacs major mode for maxima with LaTeX output - very nice! http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/imaxima/Site/Welcome.html). Looks like I need to install maxima-emacs as well. It works! That was relatively painless, I remember struggling with it the first time.
I had to copy my .emacs file again, looks like it was overwritten when I installed emacs. Will check the other config files too.

13.18: Dowloading Maple 12 from the university site. 6 minutes remaining. My browser history in firefox is gone. It's weird.

13.26: 93% done. Done. Untar. "sudo Maple12_Linux/Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM/Maple12Linux32Installer.bin" (I want to it install it at /opt/maple12, and if I run InstallMapleLinux I don't have the necessary rights).

13.37 (leet): Installing... and done. Not working? I probably have to reboot, which I'll do now.

13.45: Oh, I forgot to make a symbolic link: "sudo ln -sv /opt/maple12/bin/*maple /usr/bin/". Now it's working. I have missed you, Maple.
