-At the core of LARCS is the algebraic manipulation library. This provides a way for other libraries to add, subtract, multiply and divide symbolically, essentially giving a programmer the ability to create or manipulate equations. While it is neither a solver nor a simplifier, it provides the base for both of them by providing manipulators and automatic expression rewriters.

+One of the most important parts of this system is the "algebraic manipulator", a sub-system that provides utilities for symbolic arithmetic, that is to say addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, along with trigonometric functions and exponential/logarithmic functions. These function, as many other portions of this system, using rewrite rules, implementing a form of specialized generic programming.
