Description : Computational group theory software with GUI
The MAGNUS computational group theory package is an innovative
symbolic algebra package providing facilities for doing calculations
in and about infinite groups. Almost all symbolic algebra systems
are oriented toward finite computations that are guaranteed to
produce answers, given enough time and resources. By contrast,
MAGNUS is concerned with experiments and computations on infinite
groups which in some cases are known to terminate, while in others are
known to be generally recursively unsolvable.
MAGNUS features an intuitive graphical user interface, facilities for
running different algorithms on the same problem in parallel, generation
of approximations for working on otherwise infeasible problems, genetic
algorithms and a plug-in package manager.
