Compare Maxima and Macsyma



No, I can not. I want to find some documents in which someone compares these two CAS(s) but I did not find any except that Macsyma is written in Lisp and Maxima is written in Common Lisp.
 
 Thanks.

 However, the answers are not relevant to  you 
 unless you can get a licensed copy of  Macsyma. Can you?

    Hello

I want to work with Maxima now. I know    that Maxima is based on DOE Macsyma in 1982. And I consider two    questions:

1) What is the differences between Maxima and Macsyma    ?

2)What is any advantage of Maxima comparing to Macsyma?

If    anybody know any document about that or if you have any experience can share,    please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Nguyen,
