CPMP-Tools

CPMP-Tools is a free open-source software-package for Computer Algebra System (CAS). CPMP is an abbreviation for Core-Plus Mathematics Project. CPMP-Tools is released under the GNU General Public License.^[1] It works with three operating systems. CPMP-Tools is made for teaching mathematics at the high school level.^[2][3]

CPMP-Tools is a little similar to the two free CAS-software packages, Yacas and Xcas.

CPMP-Tools is Java-based.^[4]
