This page will survey open source computer algebra systems (OSCAS's).
A computer algebra system (CAS) is a mathematical software package capable of symbolic manipulation. The commercial CAS industry is big business. Few people know more about the CAS industry than Darren McIntyre, VP of Worldwide Sales at Maplesoft. He estimates the worldwide yearly expenditures on computer algebra (buying licenses, employee salaries, and so on) is at least $ 600 million. Clients include not just students and universities, but diverse industries who often find that a CAS is a convenient programming environment to model industrial problems.

I have left out CAFE (Computer Algebra and Functional Equations), a group writing a collection of CAS libraries (see [http://www-sop.inria.fr/cafe/main-e.html CAFE]). They appear to be written in Aldor and Maple by (the late) Manuel Bronstein. I cannot determine the license (if any) they are released under. I am also unsure if the "open source" licenses of LiDIA, MAS, and Scilab are compatible with the above-mentioned open source definition. Several of these are under very active development and some of these are essentially dead. Two other sources of information are the Computer algebra handbook [GKW] and the internet sites [CA].
