East
African Summer School on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry
August 9-20, 2004
University of Nairobi, Kenya
The following is a short list of computer algebra software that are
available (essentially) free that can do computations related to
material covered in this course. If you want to learn to use
these programs, I recommend that you find a problem that is appropriate
and read the help manuals until you can learn to make the computer
solve it. There are also commercial software for doing similar
types of computations (Maple, Mathematica, Scientific Notebook,
Mathcad, MathView, Derive, MacSyma) but I do not recommend these
programs over the ones listed below.
-
GAP - A
system for computational discrete algebra
- Singular - A
computer algebra system for polynomial computations
- MuPad - A system for
doing symbolic and exact algebraic computations
- CoCoA - Computations in Commutative Algebra
- Macaulay 2 -
A system devoted to supporting research in algebraic geometry and
commutative algebra
