Language and Compiler built for Mathematics

In summary, Matlab is a software that is great for doing symbolic work, linear algebra, and anything involving calculus. Magma is a recent piece of software that is great for more abstract algebra. There is no one-tool-does-all for mathematics, and you would need AI in order to develop a full-fledged mathematics that can do everything.

Hello,

I want to know:
1. Compiler name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics.
2. Langauge name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics.
3. Integrated software development environment name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics.
4. Language, compiler and integrated software development environment for full-fledged mathematics that gives access to device drivers, especially, display device driver.
5. Name of any software framework that gives access to device drivers with language, compiler compatibility and integrated software development environment support with that of:
  • Compiler name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics. (1 from above)
  • Langauge name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics. (2 from above)
  • Integrated software development environment name built especially for doing full-fledged mathematics. (3 from above)
Thank you.

MATLAB
Usually, it is self-sufficient.
If necessary, it can be integrated with C/C++/C# which gives any functionality you can imagine.

What is "full-fledged mathematics"?

Algebraic geometry? Measure theory? Differential equations?

There is no one-tool-does-all for mathematics.
Mathematica is great for symbolic work
Matlab is great for anything involving linear algebra (and more)
A recent piece of software called magma is great for more abstract algebra (I used it to compare Lie groups for example)

A full-fledged mathematics has an ability to help me discover or invent a custom mathematics.

If you want to find new mathematics you have to formulate a framework you'll work with.
After that, you might be able to implement code to do calculations but that's hard.

Short version, most likely not since this would need AI which isn't developed enough.
 

1. What is a language and compiler built for mathematics?

A language and compiler built for mathematics is a programming language and compiler specifically designed to handle mathematical operations and expressions. These languages typically have built-in mathematical functions and follow a syntax that is more intuitive for mathematical operations, making it easier for scientists and mathematicians to write and execute mathematical programs.

2. What are the benefits of using a language and compiler built for mathematics?

There are several benefits to using a language and compiler built for mathematics. These include faster and more efficient execution of mathematical programs, easier and more intuitive syntax for mathematical expressions, and specialized built-in functions for common mathematical operations. Additionally, these languages often have libraries and resources specifically tailored for mathematical applications.

3. What are some examples of language and compiler built for mathematics?

Some examples of languages and compilers built for mathematics include MATLAB, R, Julia, and FORTRAN. These languages are widely used in scientific and mathematical fields and have features specifically designed for handling mathematical operations.

4. Can a language and compiler built for mathematics be used for other types of programs?

While these languages are primarily designed for mathematical applications, they can also be used for other types of programs. Many of these languages have evolved to include features for handling non-mathematical tasks, such as data analysis and visualization. However, they may not be as efficient for these tasks compared to other general-purpose programming languages.

5. Is it necessary to have a background in mathematics to use a language and compiler built for mathematics?

While a background in mathematics can be helpful in understanding the syntax and logic of these languages, it is not necessarily a requirement. Many of these languages have resources and tutorials available for beginners, and their intuitive syntax makes it easier for non-mathematicians to learn and use them for their programming needs.
