MathPartner Computer Algebra

In this paper, we describe general characteristics of the MathPartner computer algebra system (CAS) and Mathpar programming language thereof. MathPartner can be used for scientific and engineering calculations, as well as in high schools and universities. It allows one to carry out both simple calculations (acting as a scientific calculator) and complex calculations with large-scale mathematical objects. Mathpar is a procedural language; it supports a large number of elementary and special functions, as well as matrix and polynomial operators. This service allows one to build function images and animate them. MathPartner also makes it possible to solve some symbolic computation problems on supercomputers with distributed memory. We highlight main differences of MathPartner from other CASs and describe the Mathpar language along with the user service provided.
