Nemo: a computer algebra package for Julia

[Bill Hart]

Hi all,

Today we are previewing a new computer algebra package called Nemo:

    http://nemocas.org/

Myself, Tommy Hofmann, Claus Fieker, Fredrik Johansson and Oleksandr Motsak have been working on it.

The official release will be Thursday at the German Mathematical Society (DMV). But you can try it today!

It's been tested on Ubuntu Linux, Win 32 and 64, but not OSX yet (may need Homebrew -- please let us know).

To try it out you need Julia-0.4.0-rc2:

There's documentation and benchmarks on the website. Our development list is:

     nemo-...@googlegroups.com

Let us know what you think. And enjoy!!

Bill.

I forgot to give instructions on how to install Nemo once you have Julia-0.4.0-rc2.

In Julia type:

   Pkg.clone("https://github.com/wbhart/Nemo.jl")

   Pkg.build("Nemo")

If you want you can also do:

   Pkg.test("Nemo")

and to use Nemo:

   using Nemo

Nemo and its dependencies are built from source on Linux and OSX. On Windows I provide binaries which are automatically downloaded by the above.

Bill.
