MATHOMATIC(1)

NAME
mathomatic - Algebraic Manipulator

SYNOPSIS
mathomatic [ -c ] [ -h ] [ -m number ] [ input_files ]

DESCRIPTION
Mathomatic is a portable, general purpose CAS (Computer Algebra System) that can solve, simplify, and combine algebraic equations. It does some calculus and is very easy to use. The -c option toggles ANSI color mode. This mode outputs ANSI escape sequences to make each level of parentheses a different color, for easier reading. HTML mode is enabled by the -h option. This makes Mathomatic output suitable for inclusion in a web page. The -m option sets the memory size of equation spaces. It is followed by a floating point number which is a multiplier of the default equation size. First you type in your equations, then you can solve them or perform operations on them with the Mathomatic commands. Type "help" for the help command. If the command is longer than 4 letters, you only need to type in the first 4 letters. Most commands operate on the current equation by default. There is extensive documentation available in HTML format, see "www.mathomatic.com".
