Software Capitalization: Macaulay

Macaulay是一个专门用于代数几何和交换代数计算的计算机代数系统。它在其他领域也很有用，如组合学、结理论、样条和微分方程。目前，Macaulay被大量用户使用，主要研究代数几何和交换代数。为了使Macaulay能够在更大的社区中使用，我们将完善Macaulay的更新和分发机制。Macaulay文档将得到改进，并将添加一个教程来帮助用户学习系统的简单和更高级的功能。

Macaulay is a specialized computer algebra system for computing in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. It is also useful in other fields, such as combinatorics, knot theory, splines and differential equations. Currently, Macaulay is used by a large number of users, mostly researches in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. In order to make Macaulay available to a larger community, the mechanism for updating and distributing Macaulay will be improved. The Macaulay documentation will be improved and a tutorial will be added to aid users in learning simple as well as more advanced features of the system.
