MACSYMA: A Program for Computer Algebraic Manipulation (Demonstrations and Analysis).

Abstract

The MACSYMA algebraic manipulation system is a collection of programs embedded in a LISP interpreter. It is currently implemented on the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS) that operates on a PDP-10 -- known as the MC (MACSYMA Consortium) machine. This program is currently available to all employees at the Naval Underwater Systems Center via the NAval Laboratory COmputer Network (NALCON) or the ARPANET. This technical document provides the (potential) user of MACSYMA with a collection of illustrative examples of MACSYMA commands and an analysis of their effectiveness from the point of view of a new user. This document is not intended to serve as an instruction manual on the use of MACSYMA, but as a supplement to such a manual for the purpose of highlighting some common problems associated with its use.
