Axiom The Scientific Computation System see http://axiom-developer.org/index.html

This package for computer algebra uses the methodology of LiterateProgramming (see http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/documentation.html )

Axiom started off with IBM as Scratchpad. It was renamed Axiom and sold to NAG who have now allowed it to become open source (see http://www.nag.co.uk/symbolic_software.asp)
