Description:   Math calculator and graphing package (0.7.6.1-101)
Genius is a calculator program similiar in some aspects to BC, Matlab or Maple. GEL is the name of its extention language (stands for "Genius Extension Language", clever huh?), in fact, a large part of the standard genius functions are written in GEL itself. What can it do? * Arbitrary precision ints, multiple precision floats, using all the power of gmp. * Rational numbers, stored as quotient and denominator. * Complex numbers, stored in cartesian coordinates as usual. * Automatic typing, no need to declare types of variables. * Math-like-looking expressions, tries to be as much a what you mean is what Genius understands, up to a limit of course. * Matrix calculations, with many related functions. * Modular arithmetic, including inversions and modular arithmetic on matrices. * A complete programming language. In fact large part of Genius standard library is written in GEL. * Can output matrices in LaTeX, Troff (eqn) or MathML, this is I think a very cool feature that allows you to copy stuff directly from the Genius console to a document in LaTeX, troff or MathML. I in fact use this even to just enter matrices into LaTeX documents to begin with. * 2D Function line plots, standard 2D graphs of up to 10 functions at once, with possibility to export to EPS or PNG * Parametric plots, with possibility to export to EPS or PNG * 3D Function surface plots, with possibility to export to EPS or PNG * GUI IDE where you can edit and run/test your programs * A plugin interface, not yet really used.
