'''Singular''' (typeset '''<span style="font-variant:small-caps">Singular</span>''') is a [[computer algebra system]] for [[polynomial]] computations with special emphasis on the needs of [[commutative algebra|commutative]] and [[non-commutative algebra]], [[algebraic geometry]], and [[singularity theory]]. Singular has been released under the terms of [[GNU General Public License]]. Problems in [[non-commutative algebra]] can be tackled with the Singular offspring Plural. Singular is developed under the direction of Wolfram Decker, [[:de:Gert-Martin Greuel|Gert-Martin Greuel]], [[:de:Gerhard Pfister (Mathematiker)|Gerhard Pfister]], and Hans Schönemann, who head Singular's core development team within the Department of Mathematics of the [[University of Kaiserslautern|Technische Universität Kaiserslautern]].
In the [[Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft|DFG]] Priority Program 1489, interfaces to [[GAP computer algebra system|GAP]], [[Polymake]] and Gfan are being developed in order to cover recently established areas of [[mathematics]] involving [[convex geometry|convex]] and [[algebraic geometry]], such as [[toric geometry|toric]] and [[tropical geometry]].
