The following information is culled from the Notices of the American Mathematical
Society, July/August 1993
This is a list of packages availiable for free via anonymous FTP, which have a
chance of running on a Linux system:
Computer Algebra Systems:
FORM, General purpose, designed for BIG problems, batch-like interface.
nikhef.nikhef.nl
MAS: an experimental computer algebra system combining imperative programming
facilities with algebraic specification capabilities for design and stucy of
algebraic algorithms.
alice.fmi.uni-passau.de
Mock-Mma: It does Matematica (deliberate mispelling). Runs with common LISP
peoplesparc.berkeley.edu
Weyl: Intended to be incorporated into larger, more specialized systems.
ftp.cs.cornell.edu:/pub/Weyl
JACAL: needs Scheme LISP.
prep.ai.mit.edu pub/gnu/jacal/jacal1a0.tar.Z
GNU-Calc: runs inside emacs.
FTP from any GNU site (like above)
MuPAD: General purpose, source available for library routines, graphics support,
source code debugger, on-line hypertext help system. (If any has the Xwindows
implementation working could you contact me). Need license.
athene.uni-paderborn.de:unix/MuPAD
Algebra and Number Theory:
PARI: Number theoretical computations, source available, ASCII and X windows
graphics.
conatact: pari@mizar.greco-prog.fr, or try math.ucla.edu:/pub/pari
Magma: system designed to support computation in algebra, number theory, geometry
and algebraic combinatorics... Distribution to start July 1993.
contact John Cannon john@math.su.oz.au
KANT: Computational algebraic number theory. needs C-compiler
contact pohst@ze8.rz.uni.duessldorf.de or ftp from
134.99.128.3:kant/V2R2.tar.Z
KAN: system for doing algebraic analysis by computer based on computations of
Groebner bases.
gradient.scitec.kobe-u.ac.jp
SIMATH: written in C and contains an interactive calculator, and many C-functions
over algebraic structures. Contains a handbook in English.
ftp.math.uni-sb.de or ftp.math.orst.edu
GANITH: is an algebraic geometry toolkit for computing and visualization of
solutions to systems of algebraic equations. Runs under X11, written in Common
LISP and C.
cs.purdue.edu:pub/avr/ganith-src.tar.Z
There is a more thorough description in the file Symbolic_Math located at
math.berkeley.edu:pub/
The following unsupported programs are also mentioned: SAINT, FORMAC, ALPAK,
ALTRAN, MATHLAB, SIN, SAC, CAMAL, ScratchPad, MuMath, TRIGMAN, ANALITIK,
SMP,CCALC. These may or may not be available via anonymous FTP. Check archie.
