mathilda: Computer algebra system¶

Description¶

Mathilda is a small, open source computer algebra system (CAS) heavily inspired by the core architecture and evaluation semantics of Mathematica. Written entirely in C99 and its own language, it implements a recursive expression model, structural pattern matching with backtracking, rewriting rules, and an extensive library of built-in mathematical functions.

Special Update/Build Instructions¶

On macOS, install a real gcc using homebrew; the package will autodetect and use it. The package declines to use Apple’s gcc-clang shim.

Type¶

optional

Dependencies¶

• $(BLAS)

• $(MP_LIBRARY)

• ecm: Elliptic curve method for integer factorization

• flint: Fast Library for Number Theory

• mpfr: Multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding

• readline: Command line editing library

Version Information¶

package-version.txt:

0.167

Installation commands¶

$ sage -i mathilda

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see upstream Issue #27330 for more information.
