Magma is a computer algebra system for computations in algebra, number theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics.
It supports structures such as groups, rings, fields, modules, algebras, graphs, codes, and more.
Its design is based on algebraic principles from universal algebra and category theory.
Users must explicitly define algebraic structures for computations.
Magma integrates different mathematical domains in a unified framework.
It manages relationships like homomorphisms between structures automatically.
It includes large mathematical databases for research and examples.
The system is optimized for high performance and efficient algorithms.
Every object belongs to a well-defined algebraic parent structure.
Magma supports research in many areas of modern algebra and discrete mathematics.
