Short: V0.12 symbolic algebra program - 020 binaries
Author: bstegema@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de (Benjamin Stegemann)
Uploader: bstegema@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de (Benjamin Stegemann)
Version: 0.12
Type: misc/math
Replaces: misc/math/LaplaceBase.lha
******************************************************************************
Laplace is now available to different CPU types. To install Laplace, use
need the archive
LaplaceBase.lha
and at least one of
Laplace000.lha
Laplace020.lha
Laplace020fp.lha
Laplace040.lha
depending of your CPU. Depack these archives into the same directory (e.g.
'RAM:') and start the installer script.
******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************
You need MUI3.3+ and the Installer V43.3. Download them now, if you don't
have them already.
MUI -> util/libs/mui39usr.lha
Installer -> util/misc/Installer43_3.lha

Laplace is now SHAREWARE!!
Although it is still a beta version, I decided to start with a lower price
than I planned. When Laplace gets some more powerful features (like a function
plotter), this price will increase. But if you register now, you won't have to
pay the difference!! I will start with 20DM or US$15. See the documentation
for more details.
******************************************************************************
Description:
Laplace is (or at least should be) an universal tool for mathematical
calculations. It lacks such a GUI with hundreds of windows like those
other progs I've found on AMIGA.
Instead it works like a shell, you enter a command and get the
result displayed, which is much more flexible.
This is just a beta version!!
There WILL be much more implemented, but I need YOUR support and
suggestions!!!!
Features:
· basic two dimensional plotter and animated plots.
· works fully symbolic.
· most basic complex, vector and matrix operations.
· basic statistical operations on sets.
· full derivation of functions.
· numerical integration.
· nice GUI.
· offers a revolutionary way of handling experimental results with
errors using gaussian error distribution.
· localized. Currently english and german.
· full featured installer script.
· documentation in AmigaGuide.
· procedures and simple programming features.
Requirements:
· CPU: 68000 or better (no FPU needed)
· OS: 3.0 or better
· MUI: 3.3
· MEM: much, 4MB should be minimum
Changes since V0.10:
· 28.2.1998:
· ß1: Rearranged internal number handling. Error
distribution should work now for complex numbers, too.
Plotter and integrals can now contain complex operations,
as long as the result is a real number.
· 1.3.1998:
· ß2: Entries can now directly be marked. Click on the left
most part of the text area (the space inhabited by the
prompt) to toggle, or use the menu.
· ß3: Export entries as LaTeX.
· 2.3.1998:
· ß4: New operators ceil() and floor() .
· 5.3.1998:
· ß5: Added registration and bug report forms.
· 6.3.1998:
· ß6: Added undo/redo facility. Press HELP for undo,
SHIFT-HELP for redo.
· 14.3.1998:
· ß7: New sections Environment variables and
Command line options.
· ß8: New section Reporting bugs.
· 16.3.1998:
· ß9: You can now cut , copy and paste marked entries.
· 18.3.1998:
· ß10: Added implicit multiplication, e.g. 2 a -> 2*a . But
it's not possible after references, because things like
a b are always treated as a(b) (function a with
argument b ).
· 31.3.1998:
· ß11: Small bugfixes, found in symbolic derivation.
Notes:
German documentation is still incomplete. It's currently a wild
mixture of german and english parts.
