22.04 software environment: Macaulay2

The 22.04 line of software environments just got an update!

This update includes the Macaulay2 Jupyter Kernel, which is a powerful tool for symbolic computation. Here is an m2 example notebook.

In addition to the new kernel, many new and updated packages are now available. For example, the Python3 (system-wide) environment now includes:

GerryChain - a library for using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to study the problem of political redistricting.

cirq - a library for creating, editing, and invoking Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) circuits.

tequila - a high-level abstraction framework for quantum algorithms.

As usual, you can switch back to the previous 22.04 environment via Project Settings → Project Control → Software Environment: "Ubuntu 22.04 // Previous". Please report any issues you encounter!
