Macaulay2

Macaulay2 is a system for computing in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and related fields. The system was originally written by Dan Grayson and Mike Stillman. David Eisenbud joined the project a number of years ago, and many users are writing packages for the system, and some are contributing source code.
