Singular (proper spelling: Singular ) is a computer algebra system for polynomial calculations with a focus on commutative algebra , algebraic geometry and singularity theory . It contains an intuitive C -like programming language with different data types for calculating in polynomial rings . This enables the user to write their own libraries . The software package contains a large number of such libraries for various applications. Elementary algorithms are implemented in the singular kernel in C ++ or C for reasons of efficiency .
Singular is being developed by the Mathematics Department of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern under the direction of Wolfram Decker , Gert-Martin Greuel , Gerhard Pfister and Hans Schönemann and is under the free GNU General Public License . It is available for most hardware and software platforms, in addition to various Unix variants such as Linux and macOS, also for Windows (using Cygwin or virtualization ).
