Hello, All!
is there some lightweight symbolic algebra lib?
i want it be working with s-expressions (syntax same as in lisp), it should
be able to expand, simplify them and find derivatives. also it's desired to
have some numeric optimization method - like gradient method.
With best regards, Alex Mizrahi.
if you use google you should be able to find mockmma, hearn's reduce,
jacal, axiom, and probably other programs. see also symbolicnet for
lists of programs.
"Simplify" is ambiguous and except for restricted classes, probably
not algorithmically programmable.

If you don't get an answer here, try sci.math.symbolic
