ChapterZero

Since I’m being forced to learn how to program a motorola microcontroller, I figured I might as well put that knowledge to practical use. So yet another vaporware project has misted itself into my head: an arbitrary precision integer and floating point arithmetic system. The thought occurred to me that it would be highly useful in this endeavor to have a memory management system— and I realized that I have no idea of how to go about doing this. So I’d also like to do that. And having messed around with Mathematica so much lately, I’m having the CAS jones again. Luckily, development on Axiom seems to have picked back up— there’s even a portal for it: test.axiom-developer.org. Wouldn’t it be exceedingly sweet if Axiom ever caught up to Mathematica? I hate the fact that I like Mathematica so much, when it is proprietary and closed source.
