Axiom Computer Algebra System - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Axiom is a general purpose Computer Algebra system. It is useful for doing mathematics by computer and for research and development of mathematical algorithms. It defines a strongly typed, mathematically correct type hierarchy. It has a programming language and a built-in compiler.
Axiom has been in development since 1973 and was sold as a commercial product. It has been released as free software.
Efforts are underway to extend this software to (a) develop a better user interface (b) make it useful as a teaching tool (c) develop an algebra server protocol (d) integrate additional mathematics (e) rebuild the algebra in a literate programming style (f) integrate logic programming (g) develop an Axiom Journal with refereed submissions.
Axiom is sponsored by CAISS, the Center for Algorithms and Interactive Scientific Software, at The City College of New York.
Donations at http://axiom-developer.org/public/donate.html to the Axiom Foundation would be most appreciated.

The Axiom sources are now available for anonymous download.
The system builds correctly on Redhat Linux 9.
If the sources are expanded into a path (e.g. /SPAD)
you can build the system by typing:
cd /SPAD
export AXIOM=/SPAD/mnt/linux
