Encyclopedia > Ginac computer algebra system

GiNaC is a free computer algebra system released under the GNU General Public License. The name is a recursive acronym for GiNaC is Not a CAS (Computer Algebra System). This misleading name is an allusion to the GNU project.


What distinguishes GiNaC from most other computer algebra systems is that it does not provide a high-level interface for user interaction. Rather, it encourages its users to write symbolic algorithms directly in C++, which is GiNaC's implementation programming language. Algebraic syntax is achieved through the use of operator overloading.

Computer algebra system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (449 words)
The study of algorithms useful for computer algebra systems is known as computer algebra.
The run-time of numerical programs implemented in computer algebra systems is normally longer than that of equivalent programs implemented in systems such as MATLAB, GNU Octave, or directly in C, since they are programmed for full symbolic generality and thus cannot use machine numerical operations directly for most of their functions.
Computer algebra systems began to appear in the early 1970s, and evolved out of research into artificial intelligence, though the fields are now regarded as largely separate.
