- Archive-name: auto/sci.math.symbolic/MAPLE-package-for-plane-algebraic-curves-available
-
-
- One of our students, Stefan Schwendimann, has written as his diploma work
- a MAPLE-package for algebraic curves in the affine and projective plane.
-
- The package contains functions for: various transformations, multiple
- components, normal forms, analysis of singularities, multiplicities,
- tangents, polar, linear systems, intersections (-multiplicities), Hessian,
- inflections, explicit and implicit representations, curve plots.
-
- Modern software engeneering and software development was a major part of the
- whole project, including that the package is stable and well documented
- (e.g. MAPLE help files are available). Part of the package will be a
- future member of the MAPLE share library.
-
-
-
- Everything (source code and documentation) is available via ftp:
-
- ftp-site: siam.unibe.ch (130.92.66.11)
- file: pub/AlgCurve.tar.Z
