Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install axiom-source on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is axiom-source
axiom-source is:
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 source files in Axiom’s native spad language
for the compiled algebra modules supplied in the axiom package.
