Update to Mathomatic 15.8.1
CHANGES MADE TO MATHOMATIC 15.8.0 TO BRING IT UP TO THE NEXT VERSION: Added some important missing documentation, and the makefiles were fixed. Some scary messages explained to make them less scary. 02/23/12 - All makefiles corrected to fix the following problem: Removed -Cv option from the install command, so that installing Mathomatic under NetBSD works without a hitch. The "install -Cv" option is not supported under some operating systems, so compiling and installing Mathomatic will now be easier on those systems. 02/27/12 - Added Heron's formula (calculates the area of any triangle, given all three side lengths) to the "help geometry" command. Mathomatic can solve for any side length, too. See "tests/heron.in" for some proofs. 03/01/12 - "make uninstall" is now passing the current "prefix" (the directory being operated on, like "/usr") to the lib and primes uninstall. 03/04/12 - Added noisy compile-time warning if DBL_DIG is not 15, and display it as digits precision in the version command. Removed "no right_associative_power" from set options listing, now only lists "right_associative_power" if it is set. A very unimportant and rarely used option that was just taking up display space. However, when set, this option makes Mathomatic work like most other computer algebra systems when parsing multiple power operators on the same level (without parentheses). So feel free to use it, or recommend I make it the default. 03/06/12 - Fixed a bug in modulus simplification; sometimes it would go in an infinite loop because it was not checking that it made the expression smaller. It now checks that the result is actually smaller. Surprisingly, this problem happened only when doing polynomial division for a modulus operator to simplify it. Here is a test expression, to see if you have this bug: (x % ((x - y)/integer_any1)). Simplifying it results in a hang, on any version of Mathomatic without the new bug fix. Mathomatic version 15.8.1 released Friday 03/09/12.
