Encyclopedia > MuPAD computer algebra system

MuPAD is a commercial computer algebra system developed by the MuPAD research group at the University of Paderborn in Paderborn, Germany, under the direction of Professor Benno Fuchssteiner, in cooperation with SciFace Software GmbH.


Its syntax is modelled loosely on the Maple computer algebra system. The most important difference between the two is that MuPAD provides support for object-oriented programming.


SciFace sells MuPAD commerically, but provides a no-cost version of their software for non-commercial research and educational usage, with fewer graphical features.

Encyclopedia4U - Computer algebra system - Encyclopedia Article (332 words)
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, because the computer algebra languages are often interpreted and the bignum system may cause overhead.
Computer algebra systems began to appear in the early 1970s, and evolved out of research into artificial intelligence (the fields are now regarded as largely separate).
The first popular systems were Reduce, Derive and Macsyma which are still commercially available; a copyleft version of Macsyma called GNU Maxima is actively being maintained.
