DESCRIPTION
axiom is a fomerly proprietary, newly open-source, interactive computer
algebra program. Opensource axiom now has support for both graphics
and the hyperdoc help system. Please refer to these facilities for
detailed usage instructions. This manual page was written for the
Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual
page.
A good but slightly out of date source of documentation can be found in
the book Axiom: The Scientific Computation System, by Richard D. Jenks
and Robert S. Sutor available through amazon.com. A pdf version of
this book is now included in the axiom-doc package.
