Abstract
MACSYMA is a large symbolic and algebraic manipulation system which has been under development at Project MAC, M.I.T. since 1969. We first discuss some of the design decisions, such as multiple representations, that led to the current system. We then give a brief description of the facilities of MACSYMA by dividing the system into seven packages: language and interactive facilities, general representation, rational function representation and related algorithms, the integration subsystem, the power series subsystem, the MACLISP system, and miscellaneous facilities.Keywords
