REDUCE is an interactive system for general algebraic computations of
|
|
interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers. It has been
|
|
produced by a collaborative effort involving many contributors. Its
|
|
capabilities include:
|
|
|
|
* expansion and ordering of polynomials and rational functions;
|
|
* substitutions and pattern matching in a wide variety of forms;
|
|
* automatic and user controlled simplification of expressions;
|
|
* calculations with symbolic matrices;
|
|
* arbitrary precision integer and real arithmetic;
|
|
* facilities for defining new functions and extending program syntax;
|
|
* analytic differentiation and integration;
|
|
* factorization of polynomials;
|
|
* facilities for the solution of a variety of algebraic equations;
|
|
* facilities for the output of expressions in a variety of formats;
|
|
* facilities for generating optimized numerical programs from symbolic input;
|
|
* calculations with a wide variety of special functions;
|
|
* Dirac matrix calculations of interest to high energy physicists.
|
|
|
|
It is often used as an algebraic calculator for problems that are possible
|
|
to do by hand. However, REDUCE is designed to support calculations that
|
|
are not feasible by hand.
