Or do you mean the open source symbol manipulation software package? ;) (Has online documentation that you can take a look at.)

yes, I meant that open source software.
Whenever, I try to google I end up with that first maxima tutorials..:(

I felt that their online documentation is not really helpful (because it is very hard to find what I want, and then it is mostly for people who have really good knowledge of math), so was looking for something else. Do you know about any other open source software, that is more popular?
 
Yayyyy, finally found it!
