= FORM (symbolic manipulation system)
{wiki=FORM_(symbolic_manipulation_system)}
FORM is a symbolic manipulation system that is primarily used for algebraic computations, particularly in the context of high-energy physics and theoretical physics. It allows users to perform symbolic operations such as differentiation, expansion, simplification, and generation of tensor algebra expressions. FORM is designed to handle large-scale computations that are often required in particle physics, including calculations related to Feynman diagrams and scattering processes. FORM utilizes a programming language that is optimized for performing mathematical manipulations efficiently.
