| Research Abstract |
We have developed a system on the We for providing any users who can access to the computer network with a facility for using mathematical software packages (in particular, the Nagoya University Mathematical Software Package NUMPAC). Our project NetNUMPAC is motivated by the rapid advance of the internet technology and the less use of the mainframe computers installed in several universities, which had accommodated and provided some mathematical software packages. The goal of the NetNUMPAC is to provide any users on the internet with the following services :
(1) downloading the routines that users want to use with their online manuals illustrating the use of routines,
(2) computing on the WWW with the routines a user chooses and obtaining the computed results without the knowledge of any computer languages,
(3) previewing the computed results with some graphics.
The project is to improve the previous version of the NetNUMPAC project. In particular, we enhanced user-interfaces by adding 2-D and 3-D graphic facilities to illustrate computed results obtained by using some routines in the NUMPAC package. We also made the template interface more user-friendly, in that any users can use a NUMPAC routine chosen on the Web by inputting some arguments for the routine in a single line only by mouse operations. The arguments of the chosen routine admits any type of sentences including calling sequences of other NUMPAC routines as well as constants.
