Dear LyX developers,
Under the Edit > Math menu in LyX there is an entry Use Computer Algebra System.
Does this menu entry works? I have tried it but not got it to work. Is there
any plans to develop this feature?
Compared with LyX's commercial counterpart Scientific WorkPlace, which is
integrated with the CAS software MuPAD, a working CAS is one of the few
features missing in LyX. What are your thoughts about this?
Ideally, there should be an open source CAS that is integrated and bundled
together with LyX just as Scientific WorkPlace and MuPAD are integrated and
bundled together, but still could be used independently.
One possible candidate for this is the Yacas (http://yacas.sourceforge.net/)
CAS, which is written in C++, just as LyX is, and has the same license (GNU
GPL) as LyX. There may be other good candidates, but this is the most advanced
open source CAS I have found that is written in C++ just as LyX is, which is a
great advantage.
Best regards,
Andreas Karlsson
