AXIOM Release 2.0a

As well as a number of enhancements and bug-fixes to the algebraic libraries, AXIOM Release 2.0a incorporates three major changes to the AXIOM system:



PC Macsyma 2.0 and Unix Macsyma 419

PC Macsyma(R) 2.0 marks the second generation of math software. The major new features are summarized below.

Notebook Interface Notebooks combine math, text, and graphics in one document.

The hypertext links and Navigate dialog enable you to seamlessly link very large documents consisting of dozens of notebooks.

Graphics Macsyma 2.0 has object-oriented graphics with camera animation, data animation and clipping planes.

The product comes with an animated movie of a safari through the inside of a Klein bottle. (You do survive and come out ''the other end''.)

Linear Algebra Macsyma 2.0 has more symbolic-numerical linear algebra than any other product, and almost as much numerical linear algebra as specialized numerical products.

Numerical Analysis Macsyma 2.0 has many new features in numerical analysis.

Partial Differential Equations Macsyma can find symbolic symmetries and solutions of systems of P.D.E.s. It has new capabilities to generate symbolic P.D.E.s in arbitrary coordinates. The companion product PDEase(R) solves P.D.E.s numerically using finite element analysis.

Symbolic Integration Macsyma 2.0 has improved symbolic integration, for integrals involving error functions, incomplete gamma integrals, and more elliptic integrals. A new implementation of the transcendental Risch algorithm is faster and more powerful.

Documentation The Macsyma Reference Manual (15th edition) and the Macsyma User's Guide (second edition) and the on-line help document the new features in Macsyma 2.0. Hypertext help is context-sensitive: Place your cursor on a word, and the F1 key sends you directly to the description of that word. German language versions of the main on-line documention are available.

PC Macsyma 2.0 is available for the Windows 3.1 or 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5 or 3.5.1 operating systems. Macsyma 419 for UNIX workstations includes the same math engine as PC Macsyma 2.0, without some of the notebook and graphics features.

Maple V Release 4

Shipping in the winter of 1995, this release will provide significant enhancements to all dimensions of Maple --- graphical user interface, plotting, symbolic computation, numeric computation, and the Maple language itself. One of the most important areas of improvement is in the graphical user interface for preparation of Mathematical documents. Release 4 includes an enhanced worksheet model with outlining controls, stylesheet-based document formatting and display facilities, and in-line display and manipulation of Maple graphics.



REDUCE 3.6

Version 3.6 of REDUCE is now available for distribution. This is the first major update since the release of REDUCE 3.5 in October 1993. As is usual for a new release, a large number of bugs and awkward features (including those documented in the patches.red available from the REDUCE Network Library) have been corrected. Taken together with the many new features that have been added, REDUCE 3.6 represents a significant enhancement over previous versions.

In addition to the capabilities of the original release of REDUCE 3.5, this new version supports, among other things:

The REDUCE algebraic mode has been improved substantially since the last release, in particular it offers:

The REDUCE graphic interface has been improved e.g. the user is now able to plot implicitly defined functions.
