Abstract: Abstract Welcome to the AXIOM environment for interactive computation and problem solving. Consider this chapter a brief, whirlwind tour of the AXIOM world. We introduce you to AXIOM’S graphics and the AXIOM language. Then we give a sampling of the large variety of facilities in the AXIOM system, ranging from the various kinds of numbers, to data types (like lists, arrays, and sets) and mathematical objects (like matrices, integrals, and differential equations). We conclude with the discussion of system commands and an interactive “undo.”
