<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=887234516-07102002><SPAN
class=199430617-07102002>I am deeply interested in using an
open-source symbolic computation kernel under applications such as Matlab
(and to keep open, Scilab and Octave). I think this would be an alternative to
(very) expensive solutions proposed by The Mathworks, to build it upon
GiNaC.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=199430617-07102002>A few questions then:</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=887234516-07102002><SPAN
class=199430617-07102002>* is there a manner of doing this by implementing a
kernel usable for the three softwares mentionned, and developping specific code
only for interfacing ?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=887234516-07102002><SPAN
class=199430617-07102002>* are there any legal problems since such a toolbox
exists under Matlab (built on Maple) ?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=887234516-07102002><SPAN
class=199430617-07102002>* anyone interested for such developments will
express a specific list of desiderata (control, maths,...). How to organize the
project so as to provide anyone with the routines he needs
?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=887234516-07102002><SPAN
class=199430617-07102002>* What do you think of this ? Does there exist any such
project ?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
