✨ AXIOM(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the axiom man page 🦋 The manual name is axiom, and it's described as a general purpose computer algebra system 👑 Literally the math-nerd dream.

🌸 NAME

axiom — a general purpose computer algebra system 🧮✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

So the basic vibe is just typing this in 💅

axiom

Then you can add these flags to customize your session 🍓

  • [-ht |-noht] — whether to use HyperDoc 📚
  • [-gr |-nogr] — whether to use Graphics 📊
  • [-clef |-noclef] — whether to use Clef 🎼
  • [-nag |-nonag] — whether to use NAG 🔢
  • [-iw |-noiw] — start in the interpreter window 🪟
  • [-ihere|-noihere] — start an interpreter buffer in the original window 🙈
  • [-nox] — don't use X Windows 🚫
  • [-go |-nogo] — whether to start the system 🚀
  • [-ws wsname] — use the named workspace 🗂️
  • [-list] — list workspaces only 📋
  • [-h] — show usage 💜

By default, the command axiom would start the process:

sman -ws /usr/lib/axiom/axiom-20210105dp1/mnt/linux/bin/AXIOMsys

💖 DESCRIPTION

Okay so axiom used to be fully proprietary, but it's now newly open-source 🌈 It's an interactive computer algebra program, and literally iconic. Open-source axiom now has support for both graphics and the hyperdoc help system ✨ For the detailed usage instructions, check those facilities out, they've got you 🫶

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A good but slightly out of date source of documentation is the book Axiom: The Scientific Computation System, by Richard D. Jenks and Robert S. Sutor, which you can grab through amazon.com 📖 A pdf version of this book is now included in the axiom-doc package 💜

🧚 FILES

  • ~/.axiom.input — the personal Axiom initialization file, executed at startup 🌙

🦋 SEE ALSO

  • Rosetta.dvi — to compare Axiom syntax with other math packages 🔍

💅 AUTHOR

This manual page was written by Camm Maguire <camm@enhanced.com>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others) 🫶

Version 20210105dp1, dated February 5, 2005. Stay iconic, bestie 💖✨
