The Hyperon Software Web page provides access to scientific material produced by its owner Martin Dowd. Downloads are free of charge. Hyperon Software would appreciate any donations.

Books:

• Introductory Algebra, Topology, and Category Theory. The intended audience is 3rd and 4ty year undergraduates; early chapters are accessible to advanced 2nd year undergraduates.
• An in-progress additional chapter for the foregoing, covering some topics in finite ring theory, of relevance to coding theory
• A Beginner's Guide to Modern Set Theory.The intended audience is 3rd and 4ty year undergraduates; early chapters are accessible to advanced high school students.
• Rigorous Vector Calculus. The intended audience is 2nd year undergraduates.

Space:

• A discussion of the possibility of a new, high-perfornance, space program.
• A manuscript "Some Mars Trajectory Optimizations (PDF)". This gives an example 30 day stay, 300 day total, manned Mars mission.
• An astrodynamics toolkit. This includes code for the optimizations found in the manuscript just listed. It also includes Newtonian iteration for orbit determination.

Papers:

• Solutions to the 1-Design Equations Submitted for publication. The file 1_designs.tgz contains the data referred to in table 1.
• Scheme Terms. Temporarily avalable until publication.
• The full version of Configurations in Binary Linear Codes (PDF)(Fourth International Conference of Applied Mathematics and Computing, 2007). Source code may be requested by email.
• Source code for the computations reported in "A Simple Model for Convergence of Genetic Algorithms", http://www.ijpam.eu/contents/2010-61-3/1/1.pdf.

Software:

• A new variant of C, called HyperC. This adds minimal abstract data type support, and a full-fledged preprocessor, to GNU C.
• C source code for a quad mesher.
• A Windows multiselect combobox. This must be coded by hand, since the SDK does not support it.

Other:

• Notes on installing Openlogos under Slackware Linux.
• A discussion of the possible truth of the continuum hypothesis
• A comment on High efficency automobiles.
