What Is MathPiper?

MathPiper is an interpreted Computer Algebra System which has the
following capabilities:

Pattern matching.
Term rewriting.
Output in text, 2D text, LaTeX, and OpenMath output.
Lisp-like macros.

MathPiper has an m-expression syntax and it is implemented on a
Java-based Lisp interpreter.  It was forked from JYacas in 2008 and
has undergone continuous development since that time.
