Abstract

MACSYMA is a system for symbolic manipulation of algebraic expressions which is being developed at Project MAC, M.I.T. This paper discusses its philosophy, goals, and current achievements. MACSYMA makes extensive use of the power of its rational function subsystem. The facilities derived from this are discussed in considerable detail.
