Archive-name: auto/sci.math.symbolic/MAPLE-package-for-plane-algebraic-curves-available


One of our students, Stefan Schwendimann, has written as his diploma work
a MAPLE-package for algebraic curves in the affine and projective plane.

The package contains functions for: various transformations, multiple
components, normal forms, analysis of singularities, multiplicities,
tangents, polar, linear systems, intersections (-multiplicities), Hessian,
inflections, explicit and implicit representations, curve plots.

Modern software engeneering and software development was a major part of the 
whole project, including that the package is stable and well documented
(e.g. MAPLE help files are available). Part of the package will be a
future member of the MAPLE share library.



Everything (source code and documentation) is available via ftp:

        ftp-site: siam.unibe.ch     (130.92.66.11)
        file: pub/AlgCurve.tar.Z
