GiNaC (which stands for "GiNaC is Not a CAS" (computer algebra system)) is a
|
| 5 |
C++ library for symbolic mathematical calculations. It is designed to allow
|
| 6 |
the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together
|
| 7 |
with more established areas of computer science (like computation-intense
|
| 8 |
numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.) under one roof.
