Editing Computer algebra system (section)

==Additional capabilities==
Many also include:
*a [[programming language]], allowing users to implement their own algorithms
*[[arbitrary-precision]] numeric operations
*exact integer arithmetic and number theory functionality
*[[Formula editor|Editing of mathematical expressions]] in two-dimensional form
*plotting [[graph of a function|graphs and parametric plots]] of functions in two and three dimensions, and animating them
*drawing charts and diagrams
*[[Application programming interface|APIs]] for linking it on an external program such as a database, or using in a programming language to use the computer algebra system
*[[string manipulation]] such as [[string matching|matching]] and [[string searching|searching]]
*add-ons for use in [[applied mathematics]] such as physics, [[bioinformatics]], [[computational chemistry]] and packages for [[computational physics|physical computation]]<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Computer Assisted Proofs and Automated Methods in Mathematics Education |first=Thierry Noah |last=Dana-Picard|journal=Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science |date=2023 |volume=375 |pages=2–23 |doi=10.4204/EPTCS.375.2 |arxiv=2303.10166 }}</ref>

Some include:
*[[computer graphics|graphic]] production and editing such as [[computer-generated imagery]] and [[signal processing]] as [[image processing]]
*[[sound synthesis]]

Some computer algebra systems focus on specialized disciplines; these are typically developed in academia and are free. They can be inefficient for numeric operations as compared to [[Comparison of numerical-analysis software|numeric systems]].
