Product Details
From the back cover: "This Computer Algebra Handbook gives a snapshot of this field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science with applications in physics, engineering and education. With the wide angle of the 'sense' of about 200 contributors it shows the state of computer algebra research and applications in the last decode of the twentieth century. Aside from discussing the foundations of computer algebra, the handbook describes 67 software systems and packages that perform tasks in symbolic computation. In addition, the handbook offers 100 pages on applications in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Chemistry and Education."
