|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
See directory ../tests for example, tutorial, and test scripts for
|
|
Mathomatic.
|
|
|
|
This directory is where example source code goes for a binary distribution.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
limits.c - C program to display current C data type limits and sizes.
|
|
Mathomatic is limited to double precision floating point.
|
|
Use "./compile.limits" to compile.
|
|
|
|
roots.c - Nice GSL example of a numerical polynomial equation solver utility.
|
|
Compile with "./c", requires the libgsl development files.
|
|
Like Mathomatic, uses complex number double precision output.
|
|
Use "./compile.roots" to compile.
|
|
|
|
testprimes - A parallel, brute force test of the prime number generator.
|
|
Checks the first 50,000,000 primes for gaps or errors.
|
|
Requires matho-primes and BSD Games primes to be installed.
|
|
It simply compares their output up to 1,000,000,000.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This directory also contains factorial functions "factorial()" in various
|
|
computer languages are for use with output from the Mathomatic code command,
|
|
which converts factorial expressions like x! to factorial(x).
|
|
|
|
Type "./factorial" followed by integers or integer expressions to compute
|
|
large factorials with Python and test "fact.py".
|
|
|

These files do not have any man page, because I think they are not ready or
|
|
are not made for packaging. They are just example programs. Any requests to
|
|
make man pages for these files will be honored by the author of this
|
|
document: George Gesslein II. Please specify which utilities you think should
|
|
be installable with a man page.
