Abstract: Abstract MACSYMA™ is a large, interactive computer system designed to assist engineers, scientists, and mathematicians in solving mathematical problems. A user supplies symbolic inputs and MACSYMA yields symbolic, numeric or graphic results. This paper provides an introduction to MACSYMA and provides the motivation for using the system. Many examples are given of MACSYMA’s capabilities with actual computer input and output. Also presented are several applications where MACSYMA has been employed to deal with problems in engineering and the sciences.
