Re: [Rd] Computer algebra in R - would that be an idea??

Another approach might be to construct a wrapper for Aldor code, along the lines of .Fortran and .C. Aldor is the extension language for AXIOM http://www.aldor.org/, and there is a symbolic algebra library available for Aldor http://www-sop.inria.fr/cafe/Manuel.Bronstein/algebra, which ships wi

I don't know which free system is best. I have mainly used Yacas but my needs to date have been pretty minimal so I suspect any of them would have worked. Eric's COM solution, once I have it figured out, will likely get me to the next step on Windows. I did some googling around and found this:

Personally, I like Maxima better than Yacas, but in both cases the solution (at least a minimal one) should be doable: A small program which pipes R commands into a terminal running Maxima/Yacas and taking the output back into R. I am not much into the technical details, but isn't that what can

I would use such a symbolic math package for R. I have dreamt of an open-source solution with functionality similar to mathStatica. http://www.mathstatica.com/ Is yacas the best system to consider? What about Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/, which is also GPL, or maybe Axiom http://savan

I have noticed spurious message of the form when developing code for the Matrix package and testing under R-devel. These messages are not present when testing under R-2.1.1 I have not reported this because I didn't know if it was caused by my code in the Matrix package or some other code. Today

Hello, this is probably something silly which I am doing, but I cannot understand why this allocation is not happening. Here is a my C code which tries to allocate a list of size 333559, and then a matrix of size 8*333559 I thought I might be running into memory problems, but R is not even using

This is actually a Windows bug. Those files are unlink()ed, and it seems Windows is not respecting that (not an unknown phenomenon). I have tried a few workarounds, and am about to commit one that seems to work. No files are left over on a decent operating system, e.g. Solaris or FC3 Linux.
