	The <span class="application">Genius Mathematics Tool</span> application is a general calculator for use as a desktop
        calculator, an educational tool in mathematics and other STEM fields,
	and has found use in research.  The language used in <span class="application">Genius Mathematics Tool</span> is designed to be
	‘mathematical’ in the sense that it should be ‘what
	you mean is what you get’.  Of course, that is not an
	entirely attainable goal.  <span class="application">Genius Mathematics Tool</span> features rationals, arbitrary
	precision integers and multiple precision floats using the GMP library.
	It handles complex numbers using cartesian notation.  It has good
	vector and matrix manipulation and can handle basic linear algebra.
	The programming language allows user defined functions, variables, and
	parameters.
    </p><p lang="en">
	<span class="application">Genius Mathematics Tool</span> comes in two versions.  One version is the graphical GNOME
	version, which features an IDE style interface and the ability 
	to plot functions of one or two variables.  Parametric plots of curves
	are also supported.  It can plot slope fields,
	vector fields and draw their solutions.  The plots can be exported
	to several formats.
	The command line version does not require GNOME, but
	does not implement any feature that requires the graphical interface,
	such as plotting
    </p><p lang="en">
	    Parts of this manual describe the graphical version of the calculator.
	    The language that both versions use is the same, it is simply the
	    graphical features such as plotting that are unique to the GUI version.
    </p><p>Generell werden neue Funktionsmerkmale der Sprache (Funktion, Operator usw.) in Versionen ab 1.0.5 hier erwähnt. Für Versionen vor 1.0.5 finden Sie entsprechende Informationen in der Datei NEWS.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="index.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch02.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Genius-Handbuch </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 2. Erste Schritte</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
