Re: Tool for symbolic integration/derivation ?



$ apt-cache search 'computer algebra'

lists the following, along with various auxiliary packages.

axiom - A general purpose computer algebra system: main binary and modules
gap - Groups, Algorithms and Programming computer algebra system
[mostly of interest to group theorists, though]
ginac-tools - Some tools for the GiNaC framework
mathomatic - portable computer algebra system
maxima - A fairly complete computer algebra system-- base system
pari-gp - PARI/GP Computer Algebra System binaries
yacas - Computer Algebra System

They're all geared towards somewhat different ends, so you might want
to play with several and see what works best for your project.  In
particular, be advised that only some of them have decent support for
symbolic integration -- namely, axiom, maxima, and yacas (though ginac
and mathomatic also handle easy cases).
