       [-h]   show usage

       By default, the command axiom would start the process

DESCRIPTION

       axiom  is  a fomerly proprietary, newly open-source, interactive computer algebra program.
       Opensource axiom now has support for both graphics and the hyperdoc help  system.   Please
       refer  to  these  facilities for detailed usage instructions. This manual page was written
       for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       A good but slightly out of date source of documentation can be found in  the  book  Axiom:
       The  Scientific  Computation  System,  by  Richard  D. Jenks and Robert S. Sutor available
       through amazon.com.  A pdf version of this book is now included in the axiom-doc package.

FILES

       ~/.axiom.input
