Bracket
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Bracket is a computer algebra system (CAS) written in Racket.
|
|
|
|
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 is, well,
|
|
rather poor).
|
|
Since Racket supports platforms independent GUIs til
|
|
program will be available on Windows, OS X, and, Linux.
|
|
|
|
That said, Bracket is not in a usable shape yet. Development has
|
|
just begon.
|
|
|
|
Spin off mathematics libraries will be made available on PLaneT.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
Open and run install.rkt in DrRacket to install the packages
|
|
that Bracket uses.
