Apparently Octave only > produces numeric solutions. First we have mathomatic, quite good in symbolic algebra, but not so good as maxima or maple. At least it the simpliest to install and use. Then we have singular, a very good symbolic algebra package. maxima, the best, can be easily installed on top of clisp. See http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2001/000871.html PariGP can also be easily built with cygwin - I have my private versions somewhere - and can obviously also do some integration. Its strength are numbers. The other symbolic math packages described at http://www.derekroconnor.net/Software/Software.htm we don't have. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ http://helsinki.at/ http://spacemovie.mur.at/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
