Eventually yes, if I manage to find old particular backup CD.

Quote:It is probably not implemented with the same philosophy as Xcas. Xcas was primarily implemented to run big computations that a human would never make by hand (i.e. mostly big integers and polynomials computations).

IIRC, the main reason I started with was to spare time calculating higher order derivatives, which required enormous time and concentration for human and maximum simplification between steps. Another was to make 3D graph with users free formula input, making maximum simplification in order to make optimal path for execution, which again IIRC, was only between 50-100% slower comparing hard coded maximally simplified formula (compiled machine code). It had several objects handled integers, fractions, exponents and rational numbers, constants, variables and functions.
