Specific Packages

Derive (1999-2003)

no longer purveyed; see Mathware Home Page

GAP (Groups, Algorithms, Programs) (Version 4.4.12: Dec 2008)

GAP: - Groups, Algorithms, Programming - a system for computational discrete algebra, with particular emphasis on Computational Group Theory. GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects. See also the overview and the description of the mathematical capabilities. GAP is used in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, and more. The system, including source, is distributed freely. Coordinated by CIRCA at St. Andrews, UK.

MACSYMA

At Scientek Inc. --- This venerable computer algebra system, in an obvious sense probably the first commercial such, went out of business: but it's back at version 2.4 in Korea! [See also further information

MATLAB: The MathWorks produces software for technical computing and Model-Based Design for engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and researchers. Our two core products are MATLAB®, used for performing mathematical calculations, analyzing and visualizing data, and writing new software programs; and Simulink®, used for modeling and simulating complex dynamic systems, such as a vehicle's automatic transmission system. We also produce more than 90 additional tools for specialized tasks such as processing images and signals and analyzing financial data. Since its founding in 1984, The MathWorks has become the leading global provider of software for technical computing and Model-Based Design. Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, The MathWorks currently employs more than 2,000 people worldwide.

MAXIMA: a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. [a descendant of Macsyma, the legendary computer algebra system developed in the late 1960s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.]

Center Space Software

PARI-GP Number Theory and Algebra program: a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves...), but also contains a large number of other useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers etc., and a lot of transcendental functions. PARI is also available as a C library to allow for faster computation.

REDUCE: a system for doing scalar, vector and matrix algebra by computer, which also supports arbitrary precision numerical approximation and interfaces to gnuplot to provide graphics. It can be used interactively for simple calculations but also provides a full programming language, with a syntax similar to other modern programming languages. implemented in Standard Lisp expressed in an intuitive imperative-style notation called RLISP. The latter is used as a basis for REDUCE's user-level language.
