This is to inform you that the free computer algebra system Axiom has now reached a very usable state.
Axiom is a general purpose Computer Algebra system. It 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.

Clearly, Axiom is not free of bugs. For some of them, patches are proposed. However, these patches have not been applied yet. It is easy to do it yourself, as can be seen from

* like to integrate a LaTeX-rendering engine into our Wiki http://page.axiom-developer.org/zope/mathaction
* know how to resurrect the connection to the alternative compiler Aldor
* know enough Lisp to make graphics work on MS Windows
* implement some of the missing mathematical algorithms.
