 Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 6:08 am Post subject: Computer Algebra System. |
 |
|
This is a feature request.
I think it would be nice to have access to a computer algebra system. I've noticed the functions in the spreadsheet and they would be nice to have access to in the math formula thingy. Well what I miss the most is a solve function. At the moment I use maxima and latex. But that is a lot of copy/pasting back and forth, which would be obsolete with an integrated CAS.
I've thought about just making a python frontend with python-uno and let it access maxima some way or another but haven't got very far with that project. I would however like some comments on my idea. Suggestions and help are welcome too. |

A solver function has been created as part of the Google Summer of Code program. This will be implemented sometime after 2.0.

| Yeah that would be quite awesome if it does get integrated after the final release of 2.0. More info would be appreciated. |

Students should try this online CAS:

click on calculator image to access. no download/install needed. works on iPad, smartphne too. |

A complete CAS must be a large program, and is only needed by a small number of office users. For these reasons it is not really appropriate to bundle such a product into a mainstream office suite. |

I wrote one for Calc and Writer. It's an extension written in C++ for LibO / AOO.
