FORM (symbolic manipulation system)
open-in-new
<p>FORM is a symbolic manipulation system. It reads text files containing definitions of mathematical expressions as well as statements that tell it how to manipulate these expressions. Its original author is Jos Vermaseren of <a href="/facts/NIKHEF/XJSwptc4">Nikhef</a>, the Dutch institute for subatomic physics. It is widely used in the theoretical particle physics community, but it is not restricted to applications in this specific field. </p>
