Support

This C/C++ library is an implementation of the Symbolic Computation Software Composibility Protocol (SCSCP).
The current implementation is based on the specification version 1.3 (see http://www.symcomp.org/scscp , for more details related with SCSCP).

This library provides a C and C++ Application Programming Interface (API) to develop client applications to access Computer Algebra Systems which support that protocol. Computer Algebra Systems could use these API to provide services to other applications using this protocol.

Authors

The library is written by M. Gastineau (CNRS - Observatoire de Paris - IMCCE) and is distributed under the free software CECILL-C or CECILL license.
