Development began in 1968, as part of planning for a new computer to be built at MIT known as the MAC. Programs were written in Lisp. In 1982 MIT franted Symbolics, Inc., a manufacturer of Lisp work stations, a license to sell a commercial version of MACSYMA. The program has been modified and distributed under other names.
