Pavelle ran the Macsyma division at Symbolics until early 1986.
Pavelle had written many scientific papers using Macsyma.
DOE Macsyma formed the basis for the much-later open source Maxima system.
Researchers at the university wished to purchase a computer powerful enough to run Macsyma.
Macsyma was one of the largest, if not the largest, Lisp programs of the time.
The first popular computer algebra systems were muMATH, Reduce,Derive(based on muMATH), and Macsyma;
In 1982, Macsyma was licensed to Symbolics and became a commercial product.
In 1979, in response to a request from Richard Fateman, then a professor at UC Berkeley,MIT provided a temporary license for Macsyma code.
Macsyma appeared on Windows PCs in August 1989 using the CLOE Lisp from Symbolics.
Double precision arithmetic in Macsyma(on a PC version) was about six times slower than Fortran.
Macsyma were acquired by Tenedos LLC, a holding company that previously had purchased Symbolics.
UC Berkeley also brought up copies of Macsyma on Motorola 68000-based systems, most notably Sun workstations.
Macsyma did not have many of the basic algorithms of numerical linear algebra, such as LU decomposition.
By 1989, it was clear to Petti that Symbolics would implode due to poor product strategy, andthat it would take Macsyma with it.
In 1987-88, the Macsyma group tried to build a PC Macsyma with Gold Hill Lisp.
The first popular computer algebra systems were muMATH, Reduce,Derive(based on muMATH), and Macsyma; a popular copyleft version of Macsyma called Maxima is actively being maintained.
(In 1996 Macsyma added LAPACK which greatly increased the speed of most numerical linear algebra.).
In 1981, Moses and Richard Pavelle, an MIT staff member and proponent of applying Macsyma to engineering and science,attempted to form a company to commercialize Macsyma.
Macsyma made at the time a revolution in computer algebra and influenced many other systems, such as Maple and Mathematica.
There is also a GPL-licensed version, called Maxima, based on the 1982 version of the DOE Macsyma, subsequently adapted for Common Lisp and enhanced by William Schelter.
It meant that Macsyma could not respond on PCs when Mathematica appeared on Apple computers in mid-1988.
As the size of the operands of an expression is unpredictable and may change during a working session,the sequence of the operands is usually represented as a sequence of either pointers(like in Macsyma) or entries in a hash table(like in Maple).
It is the only system based on Macsyma still publicly available and with an active user community due to its openness.
Also, starting in 1992 or 1993, Mathsoft engaged in a Pyrrhic strategy of spending $10 million on direct mail at very low prices, which won much of the remaining growth inthe symbolic math market, just when Macsyma Inc. was struggling to rebuild its world-class product.
In the first half of 1986, Macsyma revenues were lower than in the first half of 1985, in a growing industry.
Macsyma cut headcount but expanded its sales force and marketing, and focused its developers more on features that customers asked for.
While this has resulted in some incompatibilities between Macsyma and Maxima, programs written in the Macsyma algebraic language can often be run, with only minor changes, in either system.
Macsyma was written in Maclisp, and was, in some cases, a key motivator for improving that dialect of Lisp in the areas of numerical computing, efficient compilation and language design.
Despite resistance from many in Symbolics, Macsyma was released for DEC VAX computers and Sun workstations using Berkeley's Franz Lisp in the early to mid 80s.
At MIT Macsyma had a link to the IMSL(now Rogue Wave Software) numerical libraries, but this link was severed when Macsyma moved to Symbolics.
