Munro lang Standard C # *** This is a pre-release of yorick-1.0, which will come out soon. *** # Yorick is an interpreted language like Basic or Lisp, but far faster. # * A C-like language, but without declarative statements. Operations # between arrays produce array results, which is one reason for # Yorick's high speed. Scientific computing and numerical analysis # are the goals of most Yorick programs. # * An X window system interactive graphics package. Concentrates on # x-y plots and filling and contouring quadrilateral meshes. Also # handles cell arrays. Hardcopy to binary CGM or PostScript files. # A separate CGM browser is included. # * Yorick's binary file package can read or write floating point # formats foreign to the machine where Yorick is running. Thus, you # can share binary files freely on heterogeneous networks. # * A library of functions written in the Yorick language. These # include Bessel, gamma, and related functions, multiple key sorting, # spline, rational function, and least squares fitting, and routines # to read and write netCDF files. # * Provisions for embedding compiled subroutines and functions within # a Yorick interpreter. A compiled package which solves matrices and # performs FFTs is supplied. size 1.4 MB # (NOT AVAILABLE BY EMAIL) file env/yorick.readme file env/mathomatic.zip for simple symbolic algebra (low degree polynomial equations) name mathomatic algebraic equation processor by George Gesslein II # primitive compared to Maple, but it's free and you get source lang C .
