Millen, The Mitre Corporation, 1967

LISP program to display math expressions, pretty much an improved MATHLAB with plotting 2d output/input

from the documentation:
"Charybdis is a LISP program that accepts, as input, mathematical expressions written in LISP prefix notation, and displays them in familiar two-dimensional form on devices with a small fixed character set. It is a simply organized, modular program whose structure is based on the recursive structure of mathematical expressions. Changes and additions to the repertory of Charybdis can be made easily and independently of one another by LISP programmers familiar win little more than its conceptual basis."
