 | 3 | This archive contains 2 files which provide Grobner basis support for the
 | 
|---|
 | 4 | free computer algebra system Maxima. In order to use the package, start your
 | 
|---|
 | 5 | Maxima and put it in the lisp mode (on most systems, CTRL-C will do this),
 | 
|---|
 | 6 | and execute the following commands:
 | 
|---|
 | 7 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 8 | (compile-file "grobner.lisp")
 | 
|---|
 | 9 | (load "grobner.fasl")   
 | 
|---|
 | 10 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 11 | The .fasl extension may need to be replaced with a Lisp-specific
 | 
|---|
 | 12 | extension for some lisp implementations.
 | 
|---|
 | 13 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 14 | It should also be possible to compile and load from the Maxima prompt:
 | 
|---|
 | 15 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 16 | compile_file("grobner.lisp");
 | 
|---|
 | 17 | load("grobner.fasl");
 | 
|---|
 | 18 | 
 | 
|---|
| [8] | 19 | This version has been verified to work under Maxima 5.16.3, using SBCL.
 | 
|---|
| [9] | 20 | It should also be portable across other ANSI Common Lisp implementations.
 | 
|---|
| [8] | 21 | 
 | 
|---|
| [7] | 22 | The file grobner.demo is a Macsyma-style demo file for most of the operations
 | 
|---|
 | 23 | provided by the package. In order to run it, go to the Maxima level and
 | 
|---|
 | 24 | type:
 | 
|---|
 | 25 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 26 | demo("grobner.demo");
 | 
|---|
 | 27 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 28 | or
 | 
|---|
 | 29 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 30 | batch("grobner.demo");
 | 
|---|
 | 31 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 32 | and watch the demonstration.
 | 
|---|
 | 33 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 34 | Maxima documentation for this package has not been written yet, but
 | 
|---|
 | 35 | there is a sizable amount of documentation in the LISP source.
 | 
|---|
 | 36 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 37 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 38 | The file grobner.lisp was constructed by a semi-automatic
 | 
|---|
 | 39 | process from the sources of a package CGBlisp, version 2 also authored by 
 | 
|---|
 | 40 | me, which will eventually be released at my Web site (see below).
 | 
|---|
 | 41 | An older version of CGBlisp is available at the Web site.
 | 
|---|
 | 42 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 43 | Enjoy.
