CoCoA TUTORIAL
==============

Anna Bigatti

CoCoA is a freely available system for computing with
multivariate polynomials and on their ideals and modules. One
of CoCoA's most important features is its high-level
programming language which has been designed to be natural and
intuitive.

Aside from the normal development, a number of more specific
plans are afoot to improve and extend CoCoA. The new
mathematical core is already freely available as a GPL software
library written in C++, CoCoALib, facilitating integration into
other systems.

In the course we will see how to use the CoCoA System (version
4), a preview of CoCoA 5, and some C++ examples of CoCoALib.
