In the end the zero test problem is undecidable for reasonably complicated expressions, so sadly there is no guarantee that you can rewrite one Computable into another even if they evaluate to the same. For polynomials you can do finite field evaluation tests to prove equality with a likelihood bound of your choosing. That may be interesting for hyperreal too.

Thanks for the clarification! Hyperreal sounds very useful for zero testing (at the moment I use ErrorPropagatingFloat for this, but it is fickle), I will play around with this in the near future.

What is so awful about the license? Non-professionals can use it for free without core restrictions. Are you a professional?

Are you a hobbyist? If so, you can use all your cores for free. If you are a professional, there are also no core restrictions, but you have to get a paid license.

I saw this project before, nice work! What is your plan when it comes to the hard core algebra parts like multivariate polynomial factorization and cylindrical algebraic decomposition? These features require quite some complex mathematical code and it is tricky to get it correct, and to get it working fast. Do you want to use other libraries for this or do you want to implement this all yourself?

If you want to use Symbolica for some of these features, feel free to reach out!

Nice, I will check this out in more detail later. I had a quick look at the benchmarks and it looks like you compare f64 hyperreal with numericas 128 bit implementation, which will fall back to using arb-prec GMP. There is also F64(simply wrapping around f64), and now DoubleFloat with 106 bits precision, which should be much faster. There is also the ErrorPropagatingFloat wrapper that may be of interest.

For simple numerical operations, using an entire Symbolica Atom will introduce a large amount of overhead. It should only be used if the expression contains symbols as well. But perhaps I misunderstood the point of the benchmark?

Author of Symbolica here! If these packages work well for you, then just use them :) I don't have a lot of experience with using these tools, but the last time I tried the user experience isn't so great, because of lack of LSP support (no typing, autocomplete etc). It could have improved in the mean time. I believe the tools are also more oriented to polynomial algebra and no so much for manipulating general expressions.
