    TEXmacs interfaces to Maxima, MuPAD and REDUCE A. G. Grozin Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia [email protected] Abstract GNU TEXmacs is a free wysiwyg word processor providing an excellent typesetting quality of texts and formulae. It can also be used as an interface to Computer Algebra Systems (CASs). In the present work, interfaces to three general-purpose CASs have been implemented. 1 TEXmacs GNU TEXmacs [1] is a free (GPL) word processor which typesets texts and mathematical formulae with very high quality (like LAT X), • E emphasizes the logical structure of a document rather than its appearance (like • LATEX), is easy to use and intuitive (like typical wysiwyg word processors), • arXiv:cs/0107036v2 [cs.SC] 31 Jul 2001 can be extended by a powerful programming language (like Emacs), • can include PostScript figures (as well as other figures which can be converted • to PostScript), can export LAT X, and import LAT X and html, • E E supports a number of languages based on Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. • It uses TEX fonts both on screen and when printing documents. Therefore, it is truly wysiwyg, with equally good quality of on-screen and printed documents (in contrast to LyX which uses X fonts on screen and calls LATEX for printing). There is a similar commercial program called Scientific Workplace (for Windows). TEXmacs can also be used as an interface to any CAS which can generate LATEX output. It renders LATEX formulae on the fly, producing CAS output with highest 1 typesetting quality (better than, e.g., Mathematica, which uses fixed-width fonts for formula output).

  • Lyx + Maxima: Cálculo Y Edición Matemática En El Aula
    Proyectos de INNOVACIÓN Y MEJORA DOCENTE 2011/2012 Título: LyX + Maxima: cálculo y edición matemática en el aula. Alberto Vigneron Tenorio *Departamento de Matemáticas, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y de la Comunicación [email protected] RESUMEN: El uso combinado del software libre y multiplataforma LyX y Maxima es una clara alternativa al software propietario Scientific WorkPlace. El único problema real del uso de LyX + Maxima radica en la práctica inexistencia de documentación al respecto. En este texto presentamos un proyecto de innovación que tiene por objetivo la elaboración de materiales para implementar el uso de dicha combinación de software libre en asignaturas de matemáticas. El proyecto se ha realizado directamente sobre un grupo de la asignatura “Matemáticas” del Grado de Marketing e Investigación de Mercados que se imparte en la Facultad de CC.SS. y de la Comunicación de la Universidad de Cádiz. PALABRAS CLAVE: docencia, LyX, matemáticas , Maxima, Scientic WorkPlace, software libre, software propietario. INTRODUCCIÓN combinado de LyX y Maxima resuelve la inmensa mayoría de necesidades docentes en cualquier asignatura de matemáticas En la actualidad se está imponiendo el uso de que podemos encontrarnos en cualquier titulación programas de cálculo y edición matemática en la enseñanza universitaria. Por ello, se convierte en la mejor alternativa al de las matemáticas en la universidad. Para cubrir esta Scientific WorkPlace que, bajo nuestro punto de vista, tiene un necesidad existe en el mercado una enorme oferta de claro inconveniente, es un software propietario. Además, software libre y propietario más o menos específico según la tanto para LyX como para Maxima, existen versiones para los necesidad que se quiera cubrir.

  • Latex Hecho Fácil Con Lyx
    IX FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE MATEMÁTICA 12 al 14 de junio de 2014. Quepos, Puntarenas, Costa Rica LaTeX hecho fácil con LyX M.Sc. Alexander Borbón Alpízar Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica [email protected] Resumen: LaTeX se ha convertido en un editor de texto estándar dentro de la comunidad matemática mundial, muchas revistas matemáticas internacionales solicitan que sus artículos sea escritos en LaTeX, esto tanto por el control que se tiene sobre el contenido del documento como por el acabado final del mismo; sin embargo, aprender LaTeX inicialmente es complicado y su curva de aprendizaje es muy baja al principio. En este taller se muestra el uso del programa computacional Lyx, con este programa se pueden trabajar documentos en LaTeX pero de una manera más sencilla con una interfaz más amena para el usuario. Palabras claves: LaTeX, LyX, editor de texto. Introducción LaTeX es un editor de textos especializado en la creación de documentos con contenido matemático, este programa se ha vuelto un estándar mundial para la creación de este tipo de documentos y muchas de las revistas de más alto prestigio, tales como The Journal of the American Mathematical Society (http://www.ams.org/publications/journals/journalsframework/jams) o IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics (http://imamat.oxfordjournals.org/) solicitan que los artículos que les son enviados sean realizados en LaTeX. Aunque LaTeX se ha vuelto cada vez más conocido y se han hecho esfuerzos para que aumente su utilización, todavía es un programa poco usado por la mayoría de los profesores de nuestro país. Esto podría deberse a varias causas: desconocimiento, preferencia por editores de texto visuales (sobre todo el popular Word), pero sobre todo que LaTeX tiene una curva de aprendizaje inicial muy lenta, por lo que cuesta en un inicio aprender y utilizar los comandos y las instrucciones necesarias para realizar un documento.

  • Do Open Source Developers Respond to Competition? the Case Study
    Review of Network Economics Vol.6, Issue 2 – June 2007 Do Open Source Developers Respond to Competition? The Case Study ALEX GAUDEUL * School of Economics, University of East Anglia Abstract This paper traces the history of , the open source typesetting program. was an early and very successful open source project that imposed its standards in a particularly competitive environment and inspired many advances in the typesetting industry. Developed over three decades, came into competition with a variety of open source and proprietary alternatives. I argue from this case study that open source developers derive direct and indirect network externalities from the use of their software by others and must therefore consider non-developers’ needs to make their software more attractive to a broader audience and more competitive with proprietary alternatives. 1 Introduction This paper offers an analysis of the competition between open source (OS) and proprietary software systems through a study of the long-term development dynamics of the typesetting software.1 The project was launched in 1978 under an open source license, long before other better known OS projects such as Linux. This case study thus draws on a long history. In this article, I focus on the dynamics of competition between OS and proprietary typesetting software. I analyze the multi-period strategies by which they borrowed from each other, complemented each other and reacted to advances on the competing side. A variety of developers developed applications, proprietary or otherwise, for , an open source typesetting platform.

  • Creation, Management and Publication of Digital Documents Using Standard Components on the Internet
    Von der Carl-Friedrich-Gauß-Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Braunschweig genehmigte Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktor-Ingenieurs (Dr.-Ing.) CREATION, MANAGEMENT AND PUBLICATION OF DIGITAL DOCUMENTS USING STANDARD COMPONENTS ON THE INTERNET Marco Zens Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 17. November 2006 1. Referent Prof. Dr. Dieter W. Fellner 2. Referent Prof. Dr. Hermann Maurer eingereicht am: 16. August 2004 Abstract Today, digital documents play a steadily increasing role within our society. The Internet as well as the World Wide Web, offering the opportunity for easy and effi- cient distributed collaboration, additionally speed up this process. It is therefore as much promising as necessary to develop, to implement and to evaluate new systems to support workflows based on digital documents and Web technology. However, it is important not only to replace traditional (e.g. paper-based) workflows with their electronic counterpart, but also to improve them by exploiting the new possibilities. In this thesis, following an introduction to the field of digital documents and digital libraries, three consecutive application scenarios about the successful appli- cation of digital workflows will be presented. First, the research project Golden- Gate focuses on the creation of and the access to structured documents. Then, the project EG Online is discussed as an example scenario for information and dis- tributed collaboration with the help of Web Services. Finally, the results from the research project Managing Conference Proceedings are presented, which imple- ments a complete electronic creation, managing and publication workflow based on digital documents, using ideas and techniques developed during the previous two projects.
