- Author: bstegema@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de (Benjamin Stegemann)
- Uploader: bstegema@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de (Benjamin Stegemann)
- Version: 0.12
- Type: misc/math
- Replaces: misc/math/LaplaceBase.lha
-
-
- ******************************************************************************
- Laplace is now available to different CPU types. To install Laplace, use
- need the archive
- LaplaceBase.lha
- and at least one of
- Laplace000.lha
- Laplace020.lha
- Laplace020fp.lha
- Laplace040.lha
- depending of your CPU. Depack these archives into the same directory (e.g.
- 'RAM:') and start the installer script.
- ******************************************************************************
-
-
- ******************************************************************************
- You need MUI3.3+ and the Installer V43.3. Download them now, if you don't
- have them already.
- MUI -> util/libs/mui39usr.lha
- Installer -> util/misc/Installer43_3.lha

- Laplace is now SHAREWARE!!
- Although it is still a beta version, I decided to start with a lower price
- than I planned. When Laplace gets some more powerful features (like a function
- plotter), this price will increase. But if you register now, you won't have to
- pay the difference!! I will start with 20DM or US$15. See the documentation
- for more details.

- Description:
-
- Laplace is (or at least should be) an universal tool for mathematical
- calculations. It lacks such a GUI with hundreds of windows like those
- other progs I've found on AMIGA.
- Instead it works like a shell, you enter a command and get the
- result displayed, which is much more flexible.
- This is just a beta version!!
- There WILL be much more implemented, but I need YOUR support and
- suggestions!!!!
-
-
- Features:
-
- · basic two dimensional plotter and animated plots.
- · works fully symbolic.
- · most basic complex, vector and matrix operations.
- · basic statistical operations on sets.
- · full derivation of functions.
- · numerical integration.
- · nice GUI.
- · offers a revolutionary way of handling experimental results with
- errors using gaussian error distribution.
- · localized. Currently english and german.
- · full featured installer script.
- · documentation in AmigaGuide.
- · procedures and simple programming features.
-
-
- Requirements:
-
- · CPU: 68000 or better (no FPU needed)
- · OS: 3.0 or better
- · MUI: 3.3
- · MEM: much, 4MB should be minimum
-
-
- Changes since V0.10:
-
- · 28.2.1998:
- · ß1: Rearranged internal number handling. Error
- distribution should work now for complex numbers, too.
- Plotter and integrals can now contain complex operations,
- as long as the result is a real number.
- · 1.3.1998:
- · ß2: Entries can now directly be marked. Click on the left
- most part of the text area (the space inhabited by the
- prompt) to toggle, or use the menu.
- · ß3: Export entries as LaTeX.
- · 2.3.1998:
- · ß4: New operators ceil() and floor() .
- · 5.3.1998:
- · ß5: Added registration and bug report forms.
- · 6.3.1998:
- · ß6: Added undo/redo facility. Press HELP for undo,
- SHIFT-HELP for redo.
- · 14.3.1998:
- · ß7: New sections Environment variables and
- Command line options.
- · ß8: New section Reporting bugs.
- · 16.3.1998:
- · ß9: You can now cut , copy and paste marked entries.
- · 18.3.1998:
- · ß10: Added implicit multiplication, e.g. 2 a -> 2*a . But
- it's not possible after references, because things like
- a b are always treated as a(b) (function a with
- argument b ).
- · 31.3.1998:
- · ß11: Small bugfixes, found in symbolic derivation.

- Notes:
-
- German documentation is still incomplete. It's currently a wild
- mixture of german and english parts.
