<div><h1>engine</h1>
<div>The engine is the part of the program that is dedicated to performing the computation of Gröbner bases with Buchberger's algorithm. It is coded directly in C++ for speed.<p/>
The Macaulay2 engine provides fast polynomial and matrix operations, and Gröbner bases, syzygies, Hilbert functions, resolutions and other operations that we feel need to be implemented directly for efficiency reasons.</div>
