I also found

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/math/mascyma

by googling for "A user-friendly frontend for MAXIMA"

(I find that quoting a whole phrase that is likely to be repeated in
docs and in references often finds stuff)

Then googling for mascsyma [sic ;-)] got

    http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/mascyma/index.xhtml.de
leading to screenshots at
    http://home.arcor.de/mulk/projects/mascyma/screenshots.xhtml.de

No idea what the status of all that is, but looks nice.
