VisualLab (Mathematics software)

VisualLab is a format-free mathematical computer algebra system or program, for computations of mathematics in fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Major unique features include a blank math sheet; one inputs equations or mathematical expression on the sheet; click “Solve” button to obtain solutions. Because it is format free, users can carry out mathematical computations without any prior knowledge about computation programming language and software commands. Computation of mathematical equations are carried out as in a notebook.

Different from conventional computer algebra systems, VisualLab executes commands required by the text on the math sheet as a block, rather than line by line. There is no need to declare variables, and VisualLab accepts Greek letters. For example, to solve linear equations with 3 variables α, y3 and zk: 3α+4y3+5zk=8 3=2*α+4zk+3y3 α+y3= zk-5 One simply types in or copy pastes the equations to the VisualLab math sheet, click “Solve” button, it returns solutions that α = 17, y3 = -17 and zk = 5.
