Maxima a computer algebra system in Emacs
summary
Adds dynamic completion and a per-session per-inferior Maxima processes API so auto-complete queries and long computations run without global state; integrates with company-mode, polymode for Maxima+Lisp buffers, LaTeX preview calls, and a test suite with CI. Package ships on MELPA as 0.7.6; plotting appears via an external Maxima window (inline image embedding not yet implemented). Demonstrates sending expressions, parsing Maxima's apropos output for completions, and creating/killing named Maxima processes that return results.
