REDUCE Portable Standard Lisp (PSL)
|
|
|
|
REDUCE is an interactive system for general algebraic computations of
|
|
interest to mathematicians, scientists and engineers.
|
|
|
|
PSL was the original implementation of Standard Lisp, but now contains
|
|
many more facilities. It is quite efficient in its use of both space and
|
|
time, and has been optimized for algebraic computation. All PSL versions
|
|
of REDUCE are distributed with sufficient PSL support to run on the given
|
|
computing system. PSL is supported on many architectures and is an ideal
|
|
system for those wanting to run REDUCE as a stand-alone system. The
|
|
principal developer of PSL before it became Open Source was the Konrad
|
|
Zuse Center, Berlin (ZIB).
|
|
|
|
It is often used as an algebraic calculator for problems that are possible
|
|
to do by hand. However, REDUCE is designed to support calculations that
|
|
are not feasible by hand.
