General Information
GiNaC (which stands for "GiNaC is Not a CAS" (computer algebra system)) is a C++ library for symbolic mathematical calculations. It is designed to allow the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together with more established areas of computer science (like computation-intense numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.) under one roof.
