OSCAR Computer Algebra System

The OSCAR project develops a comprehensive open source computer algebra system for computations in algebra, geometry, and number theory. In particular, the emphasis is on supporting complex computations which require a high level of integration of tools from different mathematical areas.

The project builds on and extends the four cornerstone systems

• GAP - computational discrete algebra (via GAP.jl)
• Singular - commutative and non-commutative algebra, algebraic geometry (via Singular.jl)
• Polymake - polyhedral geometry (via Polymake.jl)
• Antic (Hecke, Nemo) - number theory

as well as further libraries and packages, which are combined together into the Oscar.jl Julia packages

The development of OSCAR is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG within the Collaborative Research Center TRR 195.

See the About page for more information.

Getting started

For examples, see the Examples page, where pre-rendered notebooks showcase selected things the software developed in the OSCAR project can already do.

If you wish to contribute to the OSCAR development, see the Installation page for instructions on how to install it, and also check out our community page.

Note that OSCAR has not reached a first public release yet, and its parts should be treated as a technology preview. See the News page for announcements about OSCAR development.
