Yacas

What Yacas is

Yacas is a free, general-purpose computer algebra system for symbolic manipulation of mathematical expressions and arbitrary-precision numerical computation. It uses its own programming language, while a script library supplies symbolic algebra operations and can be extended with new algorithms. Documentation explains the language, implemented functions, and underlying algorithms. An online browser demo runs calculations locally through a C++ application transpiled to JavaScript and WebAssembly. That demo is slower than the desktop version and cannot save or load work. The downloads page lists source code and binary packages for Java and Linux for stable version 1.9.1. Linux packages cover terminal and graphical interfaces, a Jupyter kernel, and development libraries. Release 1.9.1 notes mention plots in the Jupyter kernel, improved Jupyter integration, and fixes to the OpenMath printer and reader. The downloads archive includes Windows 7 or newer packages for older Yacas versions. Yacas supports Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted use, with broad subject coverage and no stated usage limits or paid plans.
