Mathomatic is a small, portable, general purpose CAS (Computer
Algebra System) written entirely in C. This is a console mode
application that compiles and runs under any operating system with
a C compiler.
aamath is a program that reads mathematical expressions in infix
notation and renders them as ASCII art. It may be useful to send
mathematics through text-only media, such as e-mail or newsgroups.

- Fix MODULE as only converters/libiconv is needed
- Put LOCALBASE/lib before X11BASE/lib so correct version of libexpat will
be used
- Bump PKGNAME

This package is a Perl interface to famous library PARI for
numerical/scientific/number-theoretic calculations. It allows use of
most PARI functions as Perl functions, and (almost) seamless merging of
PARI and Perl data. In what follows we suppose prior knowledge of what
PARI is (see <ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari>, or
Math::libPARI).

The PARI system is a package which is capable of doing formal
computations on recursive types at high speed; it is primarily
aimed at number theorists, but can be used by anybody whose primary
need is speed.
It is possible to use PARI in two different ways:
1) as a library, which can be called from an upper-level language
application (for instance written in C, C++, Pascal or Fortran);
2) as a sophisticated programmable calculator, named gp, which
contains most of the control instructions of a standard language
like C.
