axiom is a fomerly proprietary, newly open-source, interactive computer
algebra program. Opensource axiom now has support for both graphics and the
hyperdoc help system. Please refer to these facilities for detailed usage
instructions. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
A good but slightly out of date source of documentation can be found in the book
Axiom: The Scientific Computation System, by Richard D. Jenks and
Robert S. Sutor available through amazon.com. A pdf version of this book is
now included in the axiom-doc package.
