It's a library containing data structures for use when calculating 
Groebner bases.  Note that it doesn't actually calculate Groebner 
bases.  That's done by another library, mathicgb, by the same upstream 
author.  I'm currently working on packaging it as well.

If you're not familiar with Groebner bases, they are sets of generators 
for ideals in polynomial rings which are particularly useful in many 
algorithms.  They're essentially the bread and butter for researchers 
interested in computational algebraic geometry and commutative algebra.

Thanks for your interest!
