About

CoCoA 3 was developed from 1995 (first release) to 2000.

Sub versions

  • CoCoA 3.0b (1995)
  • CoCoA 3.02b (1996)
  • CoCoA 3.3 (1997)
  • CoCoA 3.4 (March 1998)
  • CoCoA 3.5 (July 1998)
  • CoCoA 3.6 (December 1998)
  • CoCoA 3.7 (June 1999)

Main Developers

  • Antonio Capani
  • Gianfranco Niesi


Features

CoCoA 3.0b:

  • portability (90% of the system is independent of the platform)
  • programmability (CoCoAL language)
  • arbitrary precision for integer and rational numbers

CoCoA 3.3

Main new features:

  • interactive Gröbner framework;
  • new algorithms for minimal free resolutions;
  • packages;
  • new I/O management (devices).

CoCoA 3.4

Main new features:

  • ring maps;
  • improvement of CoCoAL language;
  • univariate factorization over Z;
  • computation of toric ideals;
  • online help.

CoCoA 3.5

Main new features:

  • improvement of CoCoAL language;
  • new memory management (simpler way to access variables of different rings);
  • autoloading and autoinitializing of packages;
  • univariate factorization over Z, Q, and Z/pZ for p prime;
  • an updated online help system and an html manual;
  • new packages from contributors (integer programming, special varieties, radical).

CoCoA 3.6

Main new features:

  • a new package for computations with ideals of points;
  • faster computation of Hilbert functions and Poincare series (the POINCARE panel is now unnecessary and so has been disabled);
  • a new version of the package for computing radicals of ideals (which now works in greater generality);
  • the possibility to have a system-wide Unix/Linux installation.

CoCoA 3.7

Main new features:

  • Multivariate factorization over the integers;
  • utility functions for modules/vectors (IsTerm, LM, LPP, LPos, Monomials/IsToPos..);
  • faster computation of operations on ideals (intersections, saturations,...);
  • faster computation of the determinant of matrices with integer entries
  • new packages from contributors (algmorph, galois).


A full description of the architecture of CoCoA 3 is presented in Antonio Capani's Ph.D. Thesis (gzipped postscript format).
