changed: - This page explains what PanAxiom stands for. Axiom was originally developed by IBM under the name, ScratchPad II. It was named Axiom when IBM sold it to NAG. NAG later withdrew Axiom from the market and released it as free software. More on that history can be found on the "Axiom homepage":http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/ . There are currently two forks, namely FriCAS and OpenAxiom. Since at the moment the algebraic functionalities of these three projects do not really differ in great detail, it became customary to use "panAxiom" if one speaks about one of Axiom, FriCAS, and OpenAxiom without explicitly saying which system is meant. Probably the first appearance of the name "PanAxiom" appears in the following posting. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2008-02/msg00038.html
