Hi, I am the maintainer of Yacas. I decided to join this mailing list after having heard that the option of linking R to Yacas was being discussed. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have questions, I will try to find the time to help. Ayal On Jul 17, 2005, at 8:11 AM, simon blomberg

Hi, The thing that I wonder is whether it would be possible to embed Yacas at a lower level than via the parser. E.g. the Tcl embedding has Tcl_EvalObjEx() and friends, which operate on preparsed Tcl objects. Using this instead of Tcl_Eval() gives some efficiency gain, but more

Hi, Maybe sending an R expression and getting an R expression back for a 'suitable subset' of expressions is ok initially. Suitable could cover 3 levels: 1) Mapping of names and standard functions, e.g. pi to Pi and sin(x) to Sin(x) etc. 2) It would be nice if we can use threading of

where they are listed down the left hand side of the page. JGR, and possibly several others on the list, are written in Java. R can also be accessed directly online at: http://www.math.montana.edu/Rweb/ and other sites. And as of a week ago or so Yacas can also be accessed

I took the liberty of already adding the API to compose Yacas expression trees, executing them, and pulling them apart. This is just a preliminary stab at it, we can change it of course (removing void* for something else say). It was relatively little work. You can get it from our cvs tree
