It offers an interactive environment, including an +expressive programming language, a compiler, a large set of libraries +(algebras) of interest to researchers and practitioners of computational +sciences. It is based on the original AXIOM system open sourced by +NAG in 2002, which was previsouly developed at the IBM TJ Watson +Research center. + +OpenAxiom strives to support ubiquitous, advanced, high quality +open source computer algebra on major operating systems, in particular +major Unix variants, GNU/Linux variants, Windows, and handheld +devices. It aims at being the open source computer algebra system of +choice for research, teaching, engineering, etc. OpenAxiom leverages +existing mathematical software, in particular it provides interface to +mainstream programming languages (at the moment C and C++). + + +For information about building, installing, and using OpenAxiom, please refer +to the file INSTALL. We would like to hear from you: share your +experience with us at open-axiom-help@lists.sf.net. + +Enjoy, + +Gabriel Dos Reis -- cgit v1.2.3
