Humanitarian projects and open source: Working together to revitalize computer scienc

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Ralph Morelli, professor of computer science at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., has a double motive in spearheading the Humanitarian FOSS Project (HFOSS). The project's mission of providing free software development to help solve real-world social issues is a noble reason to rally the participation of college students who will spend their summers learning how to be part of the open source development community. But this NSF-funded project also hopes to show that humanitarian software development projects are a great way to revitalize undergraduate computing education.

	      whether to use HyperDoc

       [-gr |-nogr]
	      whether to use Graphics

       [-clef |-noclef]
	      whether to use Clef

       [-nag |-nonag]
	      whether to use NAG

       [-iw |-noiw]
	      start in interpreter window

       [-ihere|-noihere]
	      start an interpreter buffer in the original window.

       [-nox] don't use X Windows

       [-go |-nogo]

       [-ws wsname]
	      use named workspace

       [-list]
	      list workspaces only

       [-h]   show usage

       By default, the command axiom would start the process

       sman -ws /usr/lib/axiom/axiom-20120501/mnt/linux/bin/AXIOMsys

DESCRIPTION

       axiom  is a fomerly proprietary, newly open-source, interactive computer algebra program.  Opensource axiom now has support for both graph-
       ics 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       A  good	but  slightly out of date source of documentation can be found in the book Axiom: The Scientific Computation System, by Richard D.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
	      The personal Axiom initialization file, executed at startup

       This manual page was written by Camm Maguire <camm@enhanced.com>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
