We give a simple tutorial introduction to the Mathematica package STRINGVACUA, which is designed to find vacua of string-derived or inspired four-dimensional N=1N=1 supergravities. The package uses powerful algebro-geometric methods, as implemented in the free computer algebra system Singular, but requires no knowledge of the mathematics upon which it is based. A series of easy-to-use Mathematica modules are provided which can be used both in string theory and in more general applications requiring fast polynomial computations. The use of these modules is illustrated throughout with simple examples.Program summaryProgram title: STRINGVACUACatalogue identifier: AEBZ_v1_0Program summary URL:http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/AEBZ_v1_0.htmlProgram obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University, Belfast, N. IrelandLicensing provisions: GNU GPLNo. of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 31 050No. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 163 832Distribution format: tar.gzProgramming language: “Mathematica” syntaxComputer: Home and office spec desktop and laptop machines, networked or stand aloneOperating system: Windows XP (with Cygwin), Linux, Mac OS, running Mathematica V5 or aboveRAM: Varies greatly depending on calculation to be performedClassification: 11.1External routines: Linux: The program “Singular” is called from Mathematica. Windows: “Singular” is called within the Cygwin environment from Mathematica.Nature of problem: A central problem of string-phenomenology is to find stable vacua in the four-dimensional effective theories which result from compactification.Solution method: We present an algorithmic method, which uses techniques of algebraic geometry, to find all of the vacua of any given string-phenomenological system in a huge class.Running time: Varies greatly depending on calculation requested.
