FriCAS is a computer algebra system. FriCAS is a fork of Axiom. The basic goal of FriCAS is to create a free advanced world-class CAS. FriCAS builds on the Axiom codebase. The FriCAS algebra library is one of the largest and most advanced free general purpose computer algebra systems -- this gives a good foundation to build on. Additionally, the FriCAS algebra library is written in a high level strongly typed language (Spad), which allows natural expression of mathematical algorithms. This makes FriCAS easier to understand and extend.
