Workshop
The Computer Algebra System OSCAR
- Lars Göttgens (RWTH Aachen University)
Abstract
We will give an insight into the computer agebra system OSCAR and how to use it. After a brief introduction to and background of the system, we will look into some easy-to-grasp real-life examples.
OSCAR is being developed as part of the SFB-TRR 195 "Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application". It is a general-purpose computer algebra system written in julia that builds on the four cornerstones GAP, polymake, Singular, and Antic (Hecke, Nemo) and has capabilities for dealing with problems in number theory, group and representation theory, tropical and polyhedral geometry, algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, non-commutative algebra, and many more areas of computer algebra.
