MuPAD offers two possibilities to observe the execution of a program in detail. The trace mode only generates a protocol of the execution, whereby the user has no control over the execution of the program.
MuPAD offers the possibility to create, display, print and save two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) graphics. The calculation of graphical data can be done on any computer. A screen with graphics capabilities is only needed to depict the plot on the screen.
MuPAD is a computer algebra system which, up to now, has been developed mainly at the University of Paderborn. Our aim was to design a program that can handle mathematical problems and computations of a new order of magnitude. Therefore, MuPAD was designed as a parallel system. However, MuPAD also runs on sequential computers, from small size machines to more powerful workstations.
