I've been following the abcl lisp mailing list, and the Maxima

mathematics package will now run using it. This is from the

Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical

expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series,

Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of

linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and

tensors. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact

fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and arbitrarily precision 

point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three

abcl is the underlying interpeter engine for the new [maxlispj] object:
