Axiom is useful 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.
.
This package contains the text databases generated during the build
process used in computing the hierarchical domain structure, among
other uses.
