### yacas-1.0.47 README file

            README for package "yacas" version 1.0.x

    Yacas (Yet Another Computer Algebra System) is a small and highly
    flexible general-purpose computer algebra language. The syntax uses a
    infix-operator grammar parser. The distribution contains a small library
    of mathematical functions, but its real strength is in the language in
    which you can easily write your own symbolic manipulation algorithms.
    The core engine supports arbitrary precision arithmetic (although it can
    optionally be linked with the library "libgmp2") and is able to execute
    symbolic manipulations on various mathematical objects by following
    user-defined rules.

    Read the file INSTALL for instructions on how to compile and install
    Yacas. Yacas is portable across most Unix-ish platforms and requires a
    standard C++ compiler such as "g++". Precompiled Red Hat (RPM) and
    Debian (DEB) packages are also available.

    For detailed information on Yacas features and usage, please see the
    included documentation or go to the Yacas Web page,
    "http://www.xs4all.nl/~apinkus/".
