:pari
3739 bpr 6
PARI/GP est un calculateur de théorie des nombres avec une précision arbitraire. 
3738 bpr 7
Comme il est très rapide, c'est le calculateur idéal pour les besoins de calculs de WIMS. 
3880 bpr 8
Beaucoup de modules l'utilisent de manière essentielle, par exemple la plupart des exercices 
3738 bpr 9
d'algèbre linéaire. S'il n'est pas disponible, le serveur ne fonctionnera pas correctement.

:maxima
15
Maxima is an open source symbolic algebra package. It is used at most
16
occasions where derivatives and/or integrals need to be computed.
17
<p>
18
It is to be remarked that the most recent Maxima version (5.6 with GCL 2.4) 
19
has a bug preventing it from compiling under RedHat 7.*. If you run into
20
difficulties of this kind, get a copy of an earlier version (5.4) from

:yacas
29
Yacas (Yet Another Computer Algebra System)
30
is a new open source symbolic algebra package. Due to its rapid development,
31
it is a very promising package. Therefore it may find more and more
32
uses in WIMS.

:octave
37
Octave is an open source numerical analysis package. It is not yet used by
38
WIMS. So you can safely skip its installation for the time being.

:m2
42
Macaulay 2 is a powerful software specialized in commutative algebra. For
43
the time being, it is only used in a few popup calculator tools. If
3941 bpr 44
you do not install it, these few popup calculators will fail, but the rest of
23 reyssat 45
the server will not be affected.

:gap
49
GAP is a powerful calculator for group theory, actually used by two WIMS
50
tools computing finite groups. You will need GAP if you want these two tools
51
to work.

:povray
55
Povray is a ray tracing graphing software. It is used in graphing tools to
56
render high-quality surfaces. It is now included in most recent Linux
57
distributions. If you have trouble with it, check first whether the package
58
is installed with your Linux system, and install it if necessary.
