NAME

       ipbori - An Interactive PolyBoRi Shell

SYNOPSIS

       ipbori [ -ipythonprefix  prefix ] [  ipython-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       An  interactive  IPython shell for interfacing with the PolyBoRi framework. It offers full
       support of specialized data structures as well as C/C++- and Python-based  algorithms  for
       treating polynomials over Boolean rings.

OPTIONS

       -ipythonprefix
              This  options  allows  to  select  a path for the IPython executable in the case of
              multiple IPython installations.

              Alternatively, the environment variable IPYTHONPREFIX may be set accordingly.

       In addition IPython options may be added to the command line.

ENVIRONMENT

       IPYTHONPREFIX
              Defines  a  path  for  the  IPython  executable.  It  can  be  overwritten  by  the
              -ipythonprefix option.

BACKGROUND

       The  core  of  PolyBoRi  is  a  C++  library,  which  is  wrapped and extended by a Python
       interface. Essentially, ipbori calls IPython together with a profile for using  PolyBoRi's
       python  interface.   It  can  be  used  as  a  special purpose computer-algebra system for
       computation with polynomials over Boolean rings.  In  ipbori  a  global  ring  is  already
       predefined  and  a  set  of  variables  called x(0), ..., x(9999). The default ordering is
       lexicographical ordering (lp).

       For more details, see the PolyBoRi documentation.  In  particular,  have  a  look  at  the
       tutorial,  the  doxygen  part  for the core library, and pythondoc part for the high-level
       routines.

AUTHOR

       The PolyBoRi framework was created by The PolyBoRi Team <polybori@mfo.de>,  consisting  of
       Michael  Brickenstein  <brickenstein@mfo.de> (high-level algorithms, primary designer) and
       Alexander  Dreyer  <alexander.dreyer@itwm.fraunhofer.de>  (low-level   routines,   project
       infrastructure, and this man page).
