FriCAS

======

FriCAS_ is a general purpose computer algebra system (CAS).

For installation instructions see INSTALL.

For general documentation consult https://fricas.github.io.

The basic goal of FriCAS_ is to create a free advanced world-class

CAS.  In 2007 FriCAS_ forked from Axiom_. Currently the FriCAS_ algebra

library is one of the largest and most advanced free general purpose

computer algebra systems -- this gives a good foundation to build

on.  Additionally, the FriCAS_ algebra library is written in a high

level strongly typed language (Spad), which allows natural expression

of mathematical algorithms.  This makes FriCAS_ easier to understand

and extend.

FriCAS_ uses lightweight development methodology.  Compared to Axiom_,

FriCAS_ is significantly restructured -- it is more portable and fixed

several defects. FriCAS_ removed rather large unused parts (without

removing functionality).

Current development goals:

- continue structural improvements

- add new mathematical algorithms

- develop better user interface

- develop improved Spad compiler

- make it easier for external programs to interface with FriCAS

- support for using external mathematical routines from Spad
