SINGULAR is a Computer Algebra System for polynomial computations with special emphasis on the needs of commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and singularity theory.
- Main computational objects: ideals/modules over very general polynomial rings over various ground fields.
- Large variety of algorithms implemented in kernel
(written in
C/C++). - Intuitive, C-like programming language.
- Many more algorithms implemented as SINGULAR libraries.
- Communication links connect SINGULAR with other CAS's like MMA, Maple or MuPAD.
- Extensive documentation: Manual, Tutorial (info, ps, and html).
- Development started in 1984; Current stable version: 2.0.4 (June 2003, MEGA Edition).
- Freely available for most hard- and software platforms (Unix, Windows 95/NT, Macintosh) from ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/pub/Math/Singular .
