Hello,

To try to answer the original question, I think that PostScript does 
numerical computations (using floating point arithmetic), not symbolic 
ones (it does not do exact computations on polynomials with rational 
coefficients, or modular arithmetic, ...). Of course, you probably could 
_program_ such things in postscript, but this is not the point.

Vincent.
