It uses its own +programming language designed for symbolic as well as arbitrary-precision +numerical computations. The system has a library of scripts that implement +many of the symbolic algebra operations; new algorithms can be easily added +to the library. YACAS comes with extensive documentation (hundreds of pages) +covering the scripting language, the functionality that is already implemented +in the system, and the algorithms used. +EOF |
