4 Code in this directory is considered external to the
5 main Maxima distribution, and is not supported by
6 the main Maxima team. If you need help with one of
7 the packages here, your best bet is to contact the
8 author. If the status of a package present here
9 changes to supported, it will be moved into the
10 regular share directory.
13 Notes on specific packages:
15 Grobner/ Marek Rychlik's implementation of Grobner basis support
16 from http://alamos.math.arizona.edu/~rychlik/
18 Zeilberger/ This is Fabrizio Caruso's implementation of
19 Zeilberger's algorithm for definite hypergeometric
20 summation and Gosper's algorithm for indefinite
21 hypergeometric summation.
23 format/ This directory contains most of Bruce Miller's
25 http://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/computer-algebra/
27 gentran/ This is the gentran package from
28 http://www.symbolicnet.org/ftpsoftware/gentran.tgz
