ISETL Distribution

ISETL is an Interactive Set Language developed for use in mathematics courses. It is a mathematical programming language whose syntax closely approximates mathematical symbolism. The program is freeware.

Some of the files below are PDF files which may be read with Acrobat Reader. Click here to download the software. Other files are zipped or stuffed—I recommend getting Aladdin Expander.

Versions of ISETL

Current version

• ISETL for Windows under Java

Check out the ISETLJ home page.

Install ISETLJ

The ISETLJ program consists of two pieces:
1. A module written in C containing the ISETL engine.
2. A main program written in Java that provides the user interface.
Other files you probably need/want are ISETL include files such as DONPLOT.stl.

• Installing ISETLJ in a Windows environment:
1. You must already have Java 6 SE runtime or jdk installed on your computer.
   This is available from java.sun.com.
   Here is a direct link to the download page for Java SE Version 6 Use the red download button for Java Platform Standard Edition JRE.
2. Download the self-extracting zip file: isetlj1.00Setup.exe
3. Double click isetlj1.00Setup.exe, which will prompt you for an unzip location, which defaults to C:\Temp
4. The three files that will be unzipped are: ISETLJ1.00.jar, ISETLEngine.dll, and DONPLOT.stl (an isetl include file used for graphing).
5. Make a shortcut on your desktop and/or a shortcut in your Start Menu that will run ISETLJ1.00.jar

From the download page.

Older versions

• ISETL 3.0 for MacOS (Classic 7.5.3 to 9.0.4)

This is a zip archive of the ISETL folder. Once expanded, the folder can be saved anywhere on a drive.

This application must be run in a third-party emulator under OS X (or on machines that support Classic mode). Users with current Mac OS X might prefer to use Bootstrap to emulate a Windows environment and use ISETLJ listed above.

• ISETL 3.0 for Windows

Check out the ISETLW home page.

This ZIP file expands into a single folder. INSTALLATION NOTE: The beta version cannot parse paths that include spaces when calling the !include directive. So the ISETLW folder and any Start In folder should be placed at the top level of the volume, for example C:\ISETLW\

See this Help page for details.

• ISETL for Windows 2.0

• ISETL for DOS
