Mr.CAS - A Minimalistic (pure) Ruby CAS for Fast Prototyping and Code Generation
Abstract
There are complete Computer Algebra System (CAS) systems on the marketm with complete solutions for analysis of analytical models. But exporting a model, for optimization or any other research activity, requires a lot of work, even with a good software.
This work presents a Ruby library that exposes minimalistic CAS capabilities - i.e. simplifications, substitutions, evaluations, etc. Library aims at rapid prototyping of numerical interfaces and code generation for different target languages, separating mathematical expression from exportation rules - e.g. models from numerical conditioning best practices.
The library is implemented in pure Ruby language and compatible with all Ruby interpreter flavours.
Gist Repository
This Gist repository contains a working version of the scripts presented in the different listings of the paper. Due to restriction on number of words, some obvious part were omitted. All the scripts complete are presented here, numbered as in the paper.
Expected outputs in console are highlighted with =>
Tasks
There is a Rakefile
that runs the scripts. For installing dependencies:
