Its outstanding and intuitive support for scientific units makes it an invaluable asset in higher engineering education. SMath Studio has been used for more than ten years in various courses at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences, Germany (Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, THB). To enhance the usability of the software, substantial contributions have been made. One of them is the Maxima plugin for access to the free and open-source computer algebra system Maxima. This plugin combines the flexible notebook format of SMath Studio with powerful symbolic functions like integrals and solvers for algebraic and differential equations. Additionally, the plugin adds interactive 3D graphics to SMath. The paper discusses the basic design, features, and limitations, and showcases some applications.}, language = {en} } @book{Kraska, author = {Kraska, Martin}, title = {Technische Mechanik mit SMath Studio}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-50591-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-50592-9}, pages = {XI, 210}, abstract = {Dieses Lehrbuch f{\"u}hrt am Beispiel der Technischen Mechanik in die Nutzung der Mathematiksoftware SMath Studio f{\"u}r die Durchf{\"u}hrung und Dokumentation technischer Berechnungen ein. Das f{\"u}r Privatanwender kostenlose SMath ist, {\"a}hnlich wie Mathcad, eine leistungsf{\"a}hige Alternative zu Papier, Bleistift und Taschenrechner oder auch zu den bekannten Tabellenkalkulationsprogrammen. Das Buch nimmt Einsteiger an die Hand, behandelt aber auch Erweiterungen wie numerische Methoden und Computeralgebra. Mit Beispielen aus Statik, Festigkeitslehre und Dynamik wird das typische Themenspektrum der Technischen Mechanik in technischen Studieng{\"a}ngen, insbesondere im Maschinenbau, abgedeckt.}, language = {de} }
