alt=calculate fractions without common denominator|thumb|Figure 1. Xcas calculates fractions without common denominator. thumb|Figure 2. Xcas can solve equations, calculate derivatives, antiderivatives and more. thumb|Figure 3. Xcas can solve differential equations. Xcas is a user interface to Giac, which is an open source computer algebra system (CAS) for Windows, macOS and Linux among many other platforms. Xcas is written in C++. Giac can be used directly inside software written in C++.
Xcas has compatibility modes with many popular algebra systems like WolframAlpha, Mathematica, Maple, or MuPAD. Users can use Giac/Xcas to develop formal algorithms or use it in other software. Giac is used in SageMath for calculus operations. Among other things, Xcas can solve differential equations (Figure 3) and draw graphs. There is a forum for questions about Xcas.
