NAME
       JACAL - symbolic mathematics system

SYNOPSIS
       jacal [ scm | gsi | mzscheme | guile | slib48 | scheme48 | scmlit ]

DESCRIPTION
       JACAL  is  a  symbolic  mathematics  system  for the simplification and
       manipulation of equations and  single  and  multiple  valued  algebraic
       expressions  constructed of numbers, variables, radicals, and algebraic
       functions, differential, and holonomic functions.  In addition, vectors
       and matrices of the above objects are included.

OPTIONS
       The  optional argument to the jacal script is the Scheme implementation
       to run.  Absent the argument, it searches for  implementations  in  the
       above order.
