This message announces the availability of JACAL release jacal1a4.
New in jacal1a4 are:
From: Jerry D. Hedden <HEDDEN@esdsdf.dnet.ge.com>
* slib.texi: tensor operators documented.
* rw.math: General Relativity batch file updated.
* tensor.scm: updated.
From: Hal Abelson <hal@martigny.ai.mit.edu>
* unparse.scm (hglue): did not handle missing optional arguments
correctly.
JACAL is a symbolic mathematics system for the simplification and
manipulation of equations and single and multiple valued algebraic
expressions constructed of numbers, variables, radicals, and algebraic
functions, differential, and holonomic functions. In addition,
vectors and matrices of the above objects are included.
JACAL is written in Scheme. A version of Scheme (IEEE P1178 and R4RS
compliant) written in C is available with JACAL. SCM runs on Amiga,
Atari-ST, MacOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, NOS/VE, Unicos, VMS, Unix and similar
systems.
JACAL source is available via FTP (detailed instructions follow) from:
