Axiom - a large, general purpose computer algebra system
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/axiom
~1 million lines of source code
Team of 63 developers
Contact with ~200 researchers
..................................................................
The quoted users' opinions come from the book
AXIOM: the scientific computation system,
742 pp, 1992, ISBN 0-387-97855-0, Springer-Verlag New York, Inc.
..................................................................
-- 1992
"AXIOM is a milestone in the history of computation. It sets
a new standard for depth and breadth of mathematical software.
AXIOM is a fully integrated environment for exploratory research
in mathematics, easily extensible to new domains. I recommend
this book to all researchers and teachers of advanced courses
in scientific and mathematical disciplines."
Anil Nerode
Director, Mathematical Sciences Institute
Goldwin Smith Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~anil/
..................................................................
-- 1992
"The AXIOM language is a jewel that should receive wide
attention among mathematicians as potential users and
among computer scientists as a model for excellence in
language design."
Michael Rabin
Thomas J. Watson, Sr., Professor of Computer Science
Harvard University
Albert Einstein Professor of Mathematics Hebrew University

..................................................................
-- 1992
"AXIOM has captured the excitement of the French mathematical
community. It is the first of a new generation of computer
algebra systems, and is highly efficient for large and difficult
computations."
Daniel Lazard
Professeur d'Informatique
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris VI
www.inria.fr/personnel/Daniel.Lazard.en.html
..................................................................
-- 1992
"The abstraction capabilities of AXIOM are unparalleled among
presently available computer algebra systems. Many natural
mathematical constructions, very awkward in other systems,
remain natural and simple in AXIOM"
Willard Miller, Jr.
Professor and Associate Director
Institute for Mathematics and its Applications
University of Minnesota
http://www.ima.umn.edu/~miller/
..................................................................
-- 1992
"AXIOM is the culmination of a quarter of a century of research
at IBM. It represents an important new generation of computer
algebra systems."
Joel Moses,
Dean of Engineering
D.C. Jackson Professor of Computer Science and Engineering
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
http://esd.mit.edu/Faculty_Pages/moses/moses.htm
..................................................................
-- 1992
"AXIOM is a dream come true - a powerful, fast, flexible system
soundly based on the principles of modern mathematics. For anyone
who does a substantial amount of empirical mathematics, AXIOM is
a godsend."
George E. Andrews
Evan Pugh Professor of Mathematics
Pennsylvania State University
www.math.psu.edu/andrews/
..................................................................
-- 1992
"I strongly recommend that statisticians acquaint themselves with
AXIOM for at least two very good reasons. Its algebraic strength
offers help with the combinatoric problems of design of experiment
while the tensor-calculus facilities can provide powerful tools
for likelihood inference."
John Nelder
Fellow of the Royal Society
Professor of Imperial College, London

imperfect design,
buggy implementation,
inadequate testing,

What is Tourette's syndrome
Tourette's Syndrome (TS) is a complex, neurobehavioral disorder
characterized by motor tics (quick, involuntary movements that
occur out of a background of normal motor activity) and vocal
tics (noises such as throat clearing, sniffing, grunting and
shouting of inappropriate or obscene words or phrases).
Prognosis
Many patients experience significant improvement in their late
teens or early 20s. Most people with Tourette's syndrome get
better as they mature. Some associated problems, such as
obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention problems, can
persist into adulthood and require long-term treatment. |

Good Day,
I have found your administrative email address via the
www.godaddy.com services and on behalf of the symbolic
computational community of many thousand readers ask you
to help us as it is you who is the person responsible
for www.myplace.org .
Please consider systematic attempts of disrupting our
normal placid discussions at sci.math.symbolic via
using obscene language by Androcles@MyPlace.org .
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic/msg/875d64ade2448fe0
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic/msg/9a92a7416dde1525
Such type of behavior is not new for Androcles@MyPlace.org
as you can see from

and more, but I hope the quoted links will do.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Had you need any kind of support to drive the nail home
please don't hesitate to let me know and I guarantee you
the strongest backstop imaginable to stop the above
demonstrated disorderly conduct.
Best wishes,
