Mathomatic

Need help for solving algebra difficulties ? Mathomatic maybe the answer, it's free software, easy to use and fast.

ABOUT

Mathomatic is a portable, general purpose CAS (Computer Algebra System) written entirely in the C programming language. It is free and open source software, published under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL version 2.1).

This is a console mode application that does symbolic math and quick calculations. It compiles and runs under any operating system with a C compiler, especially GNU/Linux. There are no dependencies other than the standard C libraries. Mathomatic has been under development since 1986 and now stands at 17,000 lines of code (including comments).

Examples :

Calculate Command :

1-> y=2x^2+x

#2: y = (2*(x^2)) + x

2-> x
Equation was quadratic.

                              1
        -1*(1 + (((1 + (8*y))^-)*sign1))
                              2
#2: x = --------------------------------
                       4

2-> calculate
Enter y: 0
Solution #1 with sign1 = 1:
 x = -0.5

Solution #2 with sign1 = -1:
 x = 0

Limit command :

3-> 2x/(x-1)

      2*x
#3: -------
    (x - 1)

3-> limit x inf

#4: answer = 2

Roots command :

4-> roots
Enter root (positive integer): 3
Enter real part (X): 64
Enter imaginary part (Y):

The polar coordinates are:
64 amplitude and 0 radians (0 degrees).

The 3 roots of 64^(1/3) are:

4
Inverse Check: 64

-2 +3.46410161514*i#
Inverse Check: 64

-2 -3.46410161514*i#
Inverse Check: 64
