RE: [Axiom-developer] Documentation

[Bill Page]

Tim, et al.

It does seem to be rather difficult to locate useful
articles on the Internet about AXIOM. As part of the
"revival" of AXIOM I think it might be worthwhile to
create a sort of archive - at least as a temporary
measure until Tim's more abitious plans for a formal
online AXIOM journal takes off. To that end, here is my
own list of AXIOM documents in electronic form that
I have managed to collect over the last few years.

I expect that other people on this list might have a
similar collection?

While not exactly "documentation", some of these papers
might be interesting only from a historical perspective,
some are about programming methodology and others are on
specific mathematical applications.

Unfortunately I no longer know most of the original
sources of these papers, so the url's below point to
my personal web site. I don't know the status of any
of these papers with respect to copyright (so please
treat them accordingly). But my intention for now is
only to make them available to the limited audience of
this group, so I don't think there should be a problem.
