Lisp and Symbolic Integration



Dear Lispers,
First introduction: I am new to Lisp programming (Common Lisp), I
discovered it about a week while looking for a language that
especially supports well symbolic mathematical analysis. I have used C+
+ to write programs before but never really warmed to that language. I
also know how to program well with S+ and R two statistical computing
programs (but "specific" languages), said to be based loosely on Lisp.
I immediately loved Common Lisp, despite the "strange" syntax at
first. I tried some implementations but decided that the one I'm most
confortable with is GCL, it's nice and easy to use (I also tried CLISP
but was put off by floating point error messages reminiscent of the C
languages, so I dropped it). I also didn't like emacs much so I
settled for my own editors which has extra features to match
parenthesis and highlight keywords etc (called zion). I have already
converted several of my C++ and R programs into lisp and they look
really neat. I will ask one question but I'm not sure it's something
available: Does any of you guys know where to find a good webstore of
Lisp programs? I'm particularly looking for the "Hermite Reduction"
algorithm for symbolic integration, and wonder if someone has already
written a lisp code for it. Thanks.
.
