Overview over SINGULAR

SINGULAR is a Computer Algebra System for polynomial computations with special emphasis on the needs of commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, and singularity theory.

Here are some of the most important features of SINGULAR:

  • Main computational objects: ideals/modules over very general polynomial rings over various ground fields.
  • Large variety of algorithms implemented in kernel (written in C/C++).
  • Many more algorithms implemented as SINGULAR libraries.
  • Intuitive, C-like programming language.
  • Extensive documentation: Manual (info, ps, and html), Publications.
  • Available for most hard- and software platforms: Unix (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, AIX), Windows, Macintosh.

SINGULAR is a free software under the GNU General Public Licence.

SINGULAR is developed by the SINGULAR team at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Kaiserslautern under the direction of Gert-Martin Greuel, Gerhard Pfister, and Hans Schönemann.
