Ursala (UniveRSal Applicative LAnguage) is a functional programming language suitable for scientific and numerical computation. It began in 1996 as a personal tool kit to assist its author at certain practical problems in CAD applications and mathematical finance, but it is now mature enough and adequately documented for general distribution.
I would be grateful for feedback from anyone who finds this software interesting or useful, at the address ursala-support@basis.uklinux.net. This project is entirely a volunteer effort. There are many possibilities for collaboration or further contributions.
