Well, the question is not well-formed in Axiom terms since names are overloaded by inheritance. So + for Integers is not the same function as + for Polynomials. However, a count of the user-exposed functions available from the top level can be shown by the command )d op with no chosen operation. The raw counts are: 5434 Unique functions 3052 Unique function names (e.g. + Integer, + Poly) _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
