wxMaxima features include:

2D formatted math display: wxMaxima implements its own math display engine to nicely display maxima output.
Menu system: most Maxima commands are available through menus. Most used functions are also available through a button panel below the document.
Dialogs: commands which require more that one argument can be entered through dialogs so that there is no need to remember the exact syntax.
Create documents: text can be mixed with math calculations to create documents. Documents can be saved and edited again later.
Animations: version 0.7.4 adds support for simple animations.

wxMaxima is released under the GPL2 licence.
