Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install giac on Fedora 34.

What is giac

Giac is a Computer Algebra System made by Bernard Parisse. It provides features from the C/C++ libraries PARI, NTL (arithmetic), GSL (numerics), GMP (big integers), MPFR (bigfloats) and also - Efficient algorithms for multivariate polynomial operations (product, GCD, factorization, groebner bases), - Symbolic computations - Linear algebra with numerical or symbolic coefficients. - Partial Maple and TI compatibility. - It has interfaces in texmacs and sagemath. It consists of - a C++ library (libgiac) - a command line interpreter (icas/giac) - an FLTK-based GUI (xcas) with interactive geometry and formal spreadsheets. giac 1.7.0.13 3.fc34 x86_64 17 M giac-1.7.0.13-3.fc34.src.rpm updates Computer Algebra System, Symbolic calculus, Geometry http GPLv3+ and MIT Giac is a Computer Algebra System made by Bernard Parisse.

Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install giac using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install giac
