I needed a symbolic and algebraic computation software. The best solution I've found so far is maxima computer algebra system. I was wondering if there is any R package that has similar features as maxima's or somebody could point me to reference manuals on how to use R for this purpose. Thanks, Angel

Maple and Mathematica are both good (commercial) choices; I don't know how they compare to maxima, and I don't know the free ones. Duncan Murdoch
There is also the open source program Pari:
Quote:
I would like to announce the release of pari-2.2.7.ALPHA. The sources can be
obtained using the old address
ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/pari-alpha.tgz
or (preferably) through the new website:
http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html
where an updated Windows binary is available.

Dear Angel,> I needed a symbolic and algebraic computation software. The best solution > I've found so far is maxima computer algebra system.Maybe there is also the CAS MuPAD of interest, which has the look and feel of maple, works under Linux, Mac and Windows - and has a free academic version, called MuPAD-Light. This free version is mathematical fully functional, comes with full documentation, but has only a rudimentary GUI, e.g. only allows to edit the last line - so you has sometimes to copy and past ... ;-) Give it a try. Here are the pointers: in general: http://www.mupad.de/ http://www.mupad.de/schule/en/ Download, approx. 20 MB: http://www.mupad.de/schule+studium/download/mupad_light_250_win.exe http://www.mupad.de/schule+studium/download/mupad_light_250_linux_bin.tgz 30-days-eval of profi version: http://www.mupad.de/schule+studium/download/mupad_pro_de_250_win.exe http://www.mupad.de/schule+studium/download/mupad_pro_252_macosx.img.gz best whishes Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Lindner Lindner at math.uni-duisburg.de Universit?t Duisburg-Essen, Campus Duisburg Fakultaet 4 - Institut fuer Mathematik, Gebaeude: LE Zimmer: 424 Lotharstr. 65 Tel: +49 0203 379-1326 D-47048 Duisburg Fax: +49 0203 379-2528
