	Macsyma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macsyma was written in Maclisp, and was, in some cases, a key motivator for improving that dialect of lisp in the areas of numerical computing and efficient compilation.
		In early 1982, Macsyma was licensed by MIT to Arthur D. Little, Inc., which became the broker for Macsyma and soon licensed Macsyma to Symbolics in late 1982, thereby keeping Macsyma out of the software catalog of its competitor in the Lisp Machine business, LMI.
		Macsyma, Inc., was founded in 1992 by Russell Noftkser (who had co-founded Symbolics).

	Maxima - A GPL CAS based on DOE-MACSYMA
		Maxima is a descendant of Macsyma, the legendary computer algebra system developed in the late 1960s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		Macsyma was revolutionary in its day, and many later systems, such as Maple and Mathematica, were inspired by it.
		The Maxima branch of Macsyma was maintained by William Schelter from 1982 until he passed away in 2001.

		You will be using this version of MACSYMA if your computer has the possibility to implement Common Lisp Macsyma 412 or higher, including Macsyma 417.125 and 2.0 for PC.
		After the files are in place on your system (that should have Macsyma), you may want to try the simple cases (Korteweg-de Vries, the Fisher, the cylindrical KdV, the FitzHugh-Nagumo, and sine-Gordon equations).
		This version of the program has been tested with Macsyma version 412.61 on the VAX 11/780 of the Center for the Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Wisconsin 53705, USA and also on the VAX 8600 of Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO 80401, USA.

	Franz Inc Company History
		Macsyma, a symbolic manipulator used to solve complex math problems, was originally written in a version of the Lisp Programming Language called MACLisp.
		Macsyma was such a large program, however, that it could only run effectively on a specially-configured DEC 10 computer which had been loaded up with a huge, expensive memory (huge in those days meant about 2.5 megabytes!).
		Professor Richard Fateman, one of Macsyma’s original programmers, came to UC Berkeley in 1974 and continued to access the MIT system over the ARPAnet (the predecessor of today’s Internet).

	Maxima Frequently-Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When Macsyma source ceased to be freely available, pressure was put on M.I.T. (mostly by Fateman) to transfer the code which had been developed largely with Department of Energy (DOE) funding to the DOE, which then released it to others under certain conditions.
		I don't know what legal rights the DOE had to the name Macsyma as opposed to the codebase, but presumably the non-commercial users of DOE Macsyma wanted to avoid any legal wrangling around the name, and started using the name Maxima at some point (but I don't know when that was).
		Macsyma was the first of a new breed of computer algebra systems, leading the way for programs such as Maple and Mathematica.

	[Maxima] The Macsyma Saga
		However, the poison pill in winning this argument was that Symbolics saw Macsyma as irrelevant to winning in the workstation market (a correct perception), so they used Macsyma as a tiny cash cow to help support their troubled workstation Business.
		When I arrived in summer 1986, the Macsyma group had one sales rep and about seven sales administrators who did not much call customers, while there were approximately 5,000 sales leads from advertisements in Scientific American and other publications were aging in a file cabinet.
