If you've ever had need for programs such as Maple or Mathematica, you'll know about symbolic mathematics, also called algebraic computation or symbolic manipulation. SymbMath is a symbolic calculator that can manipulate complicated formulas and return answers in terms of symbols. It solves the same sort of problems as programs like Mathematica, but still runs in 640 K of RAM as opposed to Mathematica's 4 Mb plus. Although SymbMath is still being added to, it has generated interest in the scientific sections of some overseas electronic bulletin board, being one of the most frequently download programms at some monitored sites". The Journal <> on February 1992, page 76, said, "SymbMath, an expert system that solves mathematic problems in symbolic formula or through numeric computation ... requires significantly less RAM than most comparable software - 640 Kbytes, as opposed to as much as 4 Mbytes". ********************************************************************** * Dr. Weiguang HUANG * * 5/6 Cara Road, Geelong, Vic. 3216, Australia * * Email: huang #at# deakin.oz.au, Phone: (052)443282 * * ------------------------------------------------------------------ * * SymbMath - a symbolic calculator with learning * * PlotData - a plotter with analysing data * **********************************************************************
