SymbMath (an abbreviation for Symbolic Mathematics) is a symbolic =
calculator that can solve symbolic math problems. =
SymbMath is a computer algebra system that can perform exact =
numeric, symbolic and graphic computation. It manipulates complicated
formulas and returns answers in terms of symbols, formulas, exact
numbers, table and graph. =
SymbMath is an expert system that is able to learn from user's =
input. If the user only input one formula without writing any code, =
it will automatically learn many problems related to this formula =
(e.g. it learns many integrals involving an unknown function f(x) =
from one derivative f'(x) ).
SymbMath is a symbolic, numeric and graphics computing environment =
where you can set up, run and document your calculation, draw your =
graph, and use external functions in the same way as standard =
functions since the external functions are auto-loaded.
SymbMath is a programming language in which you can define =
conditional, case, piecewise, recursion, multi-value functions and =
procedures, derivatives, intergrals and rules.
SymbMath is database where you can search your data.
SymbMath is a multi-windowed editor in which you can copy-and-
paste anywhere in a file and between files, even from the Help file.
It runs on IBM PCs (8086) with 400 KB free memory under MS-DOS.
It can provide analytical and numeric answers for:
o Differentiation: regular or higher order, partial or total,
mixed and implicit differentiation, one-sided derivatives.
o Integration: indefinite or definite integration, multiple
integration, infinity as a bound, parametric or iterated =
integration, line or surface integrals, discontinuous or =
implicit integration.
o Solution of equations: roots of a polynomial, systems of
algebraic or differential equations.
o Manipulation of expressions: simplification, factoring or =
expansion, substitution, evaluation.
o Calculation: exact and floating-point numeric computation
of integer, rational, real and complex numbers in the range =
from minus to plus infinity, even with different units.
o Limits: real, complex or one-sided limits.
o Complex: calculation, functions, derivatives, integration.
o Sum and product: partial, finite or infinite.
o Others: series, lists, arrays, vectors, matrices, tables.
Also included are:
o Plot: functions, polar, parametric, data, and list.
o Draw: lines, arcs, ellipse, cirlces, ovals.
o Auto-loaded library in the source code.
o Pull-down and pop-up menus, resizeable and colorable windows.
o Procedural, conditional, iterational, recursive, functional,
rule-based, logic, pattern-matching and graphic programming.
o Searching database.
Its two versions (Shareware and Advanced) are available from the =
author. The shareware version is available from anonymous FTP sites =
(e.g. ftp://ftp.unsw.edu.au/pub/UNSW/symbmath/sm332a.zip).
If you get the SymbMath on ZIP format (e.g. sm332a.zip), you =
should unzip it with parameter -d by
pkunzip -d sm332a c:\symbmath
