Maxima on Android brings a powerful computer algebra system to your phone or tablet. It lets you do serious mathematical work, solving equations, simplifying expressions, plotting graphs, and performing symbolic math, without needing a desktop computer. This repository packages that project specifically for Android Studio, Google's official app development tool, so that anyone interested in working on or extending the app can get started quickly. The project comes with pre-built versions of several mathematical tools: Maxima itself (the algebra engine), gnuplot (for drawing graphs), and qepcad (for working with quantifier elimination problems). These compiled programs are ready to go for both major phone processor types, ARM (what most Android phones use) and x86 (often used in emulators and some devices). The developer built this using Android Studio on a Mac, and the included binaries mean you don't have to compile those math tools yourself, which can be a complicated process. This would appeal to someone who wants to customize, improve, or study how a full-featured math app works on Android. A student or educator who relies on Maxima and wants it on mobile, a developer curious about porting desktop math software to phones, or someone who wants to fix a bug or add a feature to an existing math app would all find this useful. The repository is essentially a starting point, it gives you a working project you can open in Android Studio and build from there. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License, meaning you're free to modify and share it. It combines several open source components, each with their own licenses. Beyond that, the README doesn't go into detail about setup steps or project architecture, it assumes you already have Android Studio installed and know your way around it.
