'''muMATH''' is a [[computer algebra system]] developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Albert D. Rich and David Stoutemyer of [[Soft Warehouse (Hawaii)|Soft Warehouse]] in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is implemented in the muSIMP programming language which is  built on top of a [[Lisp (programming language)|LISP]] dialect called {{Interlanguage link multi|muLISP|de}}. It supports [[CP/M]] and [[TRS-DOS]] (since muMATH-79), [[Apple II]] (since muMATH-80) and [[MS-DOS]] (in muMATH-83, the final version, which was published by [[Microsoft]]).

The Soft Warehouse later developed [[Derive (computer algebra system)|Derive]], another computer algebra system. The company was purchased by [[Texas Instruments]] in 1999, and development of Derive ended in 2006.
