Bracket
=======
This source repository holds the beginning of a CAS (computer algebra
system) written in the programming language Racket.
Bracket is a computer algebra system (CAS) written in Racket.
The goal is not to write a CAS with the scope of Maxima and Mathematica,
but rather to make CAS that can handle high school problems including
symbolic equation solving, differentiation, integration and sums.
The goal is to write a CAS suitable for all tasks in a
high school mathematics curriculum. That is, the goal is not
to write a CAS with the scope of Maxima and Mathematica.
The most relevant problem types are: symbolic equation solving,
differentiation, integration, sums, and, vector calculations.
The GUI will be inspired by NSpire which interface is very accessible
to high school students (but whose programming language, well, is
to high school students (but whose programming language is, well,
rather poor). Since Racket supports platforms independent GUIs til
program will be available on Windows, OS X, and, Linux.
