Description:	JACAL - symbolic math package

Version:	0-4

Notes:

  JACAL System is a computer program for the manipulation and simplification
  of algebraic and complex analytic equations, expressions, functions, and
  constants.

  OVERVIEW OF THE JACAL SYSTEM

  JACAL differs from many other symbolic mathematics systems in that the input
  and outupt formats are the same.  Any expression typed out by JACAL can be
  used as input.  If the user has an input editor, she can extract parts of
  expressions easily with it.

  The syntax used by JACAL is a slightly extended version of MACSYMA syntax.
  The extensions are the use of x' to represent differentials and the
  construct {x|equation}.  This represents a (possibly multiple) value of the
  roots of equation in x.  | is read as "such that".
