Not a CAS, where CAS stands for Computer Algebra System. It has been
|
||
|
|
developed to become a replacement engine for xloops which in the past

||
|
|
was powered by the Maple CAS. Its design is revolutionary in a sense
|
||
|
|
that contrary to other CAS it does not try to provide extensive
|
||
|
|
algebraic capabilities and a simple programming language but instead
|
||
|
|
accepts a given language (C++) and extends it by a set of algebraic
|
||
|
|
capabilities.
