This may be a bit offtopic since it's not related to a technical CL
question: There are those 2 computer algebra systems: OpenAxiom and
Maxima; both are based on Lisp. I wanted to know whether you have a
preference/recommendation for one or the other. Which one of the two
do you think is a more powerful/mature CAS (based on the scope and
strength of solving a wide application of mathematical problems)?
Which is at the same level as Wolfram's Mathematica? And last but not
least which one of the two is based on more ANSI compliant Common
Lisp? Thanks
