ABSTRACT
In this paper, a Web-based scientific computing system called iMathema is introduced, which provides computing service based on the open source software Maxima and Gnuplot. iMathema has a B/S architecture, which does not require the user to learn any syntax of CASs (Computer Algebra Systems). It enables users to input math expressions visually, and then it will also return the compute results visually. Besides, it provides remote use to any device via Internet. With iMathema, users can use CASs conveniently to solve many practical problems successfully or even use it to verify whether the answer is right or not distantly. The paper has also demonstrated iMathema's structure, design principles and primary advantages.
