Description : Reduce Algebra system
This is an interactive program designed for general algebraic computations of
interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers. Its capabilities include:
1. expansion and ordering of polynomials and rational functions;
2. substitutions and pattern matching in a wide variety of forms;
3. automatic and user controlled simplification of expressions;
4. calculations with symbolic matrices;
5. arbitrary precision integer and real arithmetic;
6. facilities for defining new functions and extending program syntax;
7. analytic differentiation and integration;
8. factorization of polynomials;
9. facilities for the solution of a variety of algebraic equations;
10. facilities for the output of expressions in a variety of formats;
11. facilities for generating optimized numerical programs from symbolic input;
12. calculations with a wide variety of special functions;
13. Dirac matrix calculations of interest to high energy physicists.
