Have any of you heard of it? Any ideas on where I could get ahold of it? Well, I think you would have more luck if you asked for MACSYMA by its real name :-). And, yes it is quite famous. In some ways the grandfather among computer algebra programs which means that it has had LOTS of time to grow. Last I heard the PC version requires about 40 MBytes of hard disk space. :-).
