AXIOM

AXIOM is a powerful computer algebra system which provides a complete environment for anyone needing to manipulate and solve mathematical formulae. Its application is wide-ranging, from pure mathematics research through branches of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering to financial modelling and cryptography.

AXIOM was originally developed as a research tool by IBM in collaboration with experts around the world; IBM has a long history of research in symbolic algebra with many significant contributions to the field. The copyright of AXIOM is now assigned to NAG. A full description of the AXIOM system is given here .
