As mentioned in the previous section, Asir is a standard language
interface forRisa's algebraic engine.
Usually, it is provided as an executable file named asir.
Main features supported for the current version of Asir is as follows.
- 
A C-like programming language
- 
Arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division) on numbers, polynomials and rational expressions
- 
Operations on vectors and matrices
- 
List processing operations at the minimum
- 
Several Built-in functions (factorization, GCD computation, Groebner basis
computation etc.)
- 
Useful user defined functions(e.g., factorization over algebraic number fields)
- 
A dbx-like debugger
- 
Plotting of implicit functions
- 
Numerical evaluation of mathematical expressions including elementary
transcendental functions at arbitrary precision. This feature is
in force only if PARI system (see section pari).
- 
Distributed computation over UNIX
