Axiom is a computer algebra system. It is useful for research and development of mathematical algorithms for which it defines a strongly typed, mathematically correct type hierarchy. Axiom comes with an associated, though separable, programming language called A#.
Originally developed by researchers at IBM under the name Scratchpad, Axiom has been in development since 1973, and although it was formerly a commercial product, it is now open-source and free software. It is released under a modified BSD license.
Efforts are underway to extend Axiom to:
- develop a better user interface
- make it useful as a teaching tool
- develop an algebra server protocol
- integrate additional mathematics
- rebuild the algebra in a literate programming style
- integrate logic programming
- develop an Axiom Journal with refereed submissions
