ginac: GiNaC (A program that extends C++ by a set of algebraic capabilities) ginac: ginac: The name GiNaC is an iterated and recursive abbreviation for GiNaC is ginac: Not a CAS, where CAS stands for Computer Algebra System. It has been ginac: developed to become a replacement engine for xloops which is up to now ginac: powered by the Maple CAS. Its design is revolutionary in a sense that ginac: contrary to other CAS it does not try to provide extensive algebraic ginac: capabilities and a simple programming language but instead accepts a ginac: the language C++ and extends it by a set of algebraic capabilities. ginac: ginac:
