jscl-meditor is a java symbolic computing library and math editor, with: polynomial system solving, simplification, MathML output, vectors & matrices, factorization, derivatives, integrals (rational functions), boolean algebra, java code generation, geometric algebra.

The goal of this project is to provide a java symbolic computing library and a mathematical editor acting as a front-end to the former.

There are several computer algebra systems available on the market, most of them developed in other languages, mainly C/C++ and Lisp. But the benefits of using java in symbolic computation are great.

Aside from being widely used and to comply with various standards, this language has two features of concern : readability and portability.

Regarding readability, the goal is to produce a code as nice and short as the pseudo-code found in textbooks or research papers.

As for portability, it means that a lot of platforms are available at no cost, from powerful unix workstations or servers to handheld devices.

To make it possible, the project is split in two parts : the engine (jscl) and the mathematical editor front-end (meditor). The engine is usable interactively or in batch mode from a java shell interpreter (like BeanShell for instance), or as a java library in any third-party application.

Here are some key features of "jscl meditor":

· Polynomial system solving
· Vectors and matrices
· Factorization
· Derivatives
· Integrals (rational functions)
· Boolean algebra
· Simplification
· Geometric algebra
· Java code generation
· Graphical rendering of math expressions
