Description

I've prepared arm executables of Macaulay 2, available at http://www.freesoft.org/software/Macaulay2.

It would be nice to integrate them into an Android app.

I have two basic ideas for how to do this - simple and complex. Simple would be to use a terminal emulator. Complex would be to display TeX output, ala MaximaOnAndroid.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the prepared ARM executables at the linked Macaulay 2 site and determine what Android integration path is viable. Compare the proposed terminal-emulator approach with the more complex TeX-output approach, using MaximaOnAndroid as the named reference. Done means a usable Android app integrates the executables through one of these approaches.
