macmupadfpu.hqx macmupad.hqx MacMuPAD A Multi-Processing Algebra Data Tool B. Fuchssteiner AutoMath University of Paderborn Germany This is a symbolic package for algebra with surprising power. Its interface is similar to earlier versions of Maple and it shares many of Maple's features - symbolic manipulation, arbitrary precision arithmetic, built-in 2D and 3D graphics, and a rich programming language. Part of MacMuPAD's power comes from having PARI incorporated in its engine. There are three hypertext "manuals" integrated with the package as well as published references available from Birkhauser Verlag (German currently available, English is due out soon). The hypertext manual called "Demo" is in English and is 133 pages long, the one called "Tutorial" is also in English and is 281 pages long, and the actual hypertext manual is in German and is 1280 pages long. An abbreviated list of topics includes simple arithmetic, numerous number theoretic functions and operations, differentiation, operator arithmetic, polynomials and matrices over the ring of Gaussian integers, factorization of multivariate polynomials, matrices over commutative rings, polynomial rings over Gaussian integers, Groebner basis for polynomial ideals, and orthonormal polynomials. This version is limited in its memory allocation. A full version is available for free upon registration -- just send in the registration form both electronically and by surface mail. The MuPAD project is an ongoing project, so continued support and further development is likely. Tested on a PowerMac with no problems. -------------------------------------------------------------- Location in Mathematics Archives: Anonymous FTP: /mac/calculus /mac/linearAlgebra /mac/modernAlgebra /mac/numberTheory Gopher: (First select "Software" then "Macintosh software arranged by subjects") Calculus / MacMuPAD Linear Algebra / MacMuPAD Modern Algebra / MacMuPAD Number Theory / MacMuPAD --------------------------------------------------------------
