It is quite efficient in its use of both space and +time, and has been optimized for algebraic computation. All PSL versions +of REDUCE are distributed with sufficient PSL support to run on the given +computing system. PSL is supported on many architectures and is an ideal +system for those wanting to run REDUCE as a stand-alone system. The +principal developer of PSL before it became Open Source was the Konrad +Zuse Center, Berlin (ZIB). + +It is often used as an algebraic calculator for problems that are possible +to do by hand. However, REDUCE is designed to support calculations that +are not feasible by hand. + +WWW: http://www.reduce-algebra.com/ |
