Abstract
PowerMath is a symbolic algebra system for the MacIntosh computer. This paper outlines the design decisions that were made during its development, and explains how the novel MacIntosh environment helped and hindered the development of the system. While the interior of PowerMath is fairly conventional, the user interface has many novel features. It is these that make PowerMath not just another micro-computer algebra system.
