The aim of the book "Computer Algebra: Concepts and Techniques" is to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to computer algebra systems for a diverse audience, including students, faculty, and professionals in scientific fields such as computer science, mathematics, engineering, and physics. Unlike previous books on the subject, this text assumes only a basic understanding of first-year calculus and a modest level of programming experience, making it suitable for a wide range of readers.
Written in a concise and engaging style, the book employs numerous examples to illustrate the key concepts and techniques discussed. It presents the fundamental algorithms and data structures used in computer algebra, while also exploring the inherent limitations and practical applications of these systems.
The book is organized into four main chapters:
Chapter 1 provides an overview of computer algebra systems, including their history, applications, and basic concepts.
Chapter 2 introduces the fundamental algorithms and data structures used in computer algebra, such as linear algebra, polynomial manipulation, and numerical integration.
Chapter 3 discusses the practical limitations and challenges of computer algebra systems, including accuracy, efficiency, and stability.
Chapter 4 showcases several real-world applications of computer algebra, including scientific computing, engineering design, and financial modeling.
Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying mathematical principles and algorithms that drive computer algebra systems. They provide clear explanations and examples to help readers grasp the concepts and apply them in practical scenarios.
In addition, the book includes a comprehensive appendix that covers important topics such as matrix manipulation, numerical algorithms, and software tools for computer algebra. This appendix provides a valuable resource for readers who wish to further explore these topics.
Overall, "Computer Algebra: Concepts and Techniques" is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of computer algebra systems and their applications in scientific and engineering fields. Its accessible writing style, extensive examples, and comprehensive appendix make it an invaluable tool for students, professionals, and researchers alike.
