| Description: | MAT-338 = CSC-338 - Topics in Computational Mathematics: Computer Algebra. Have you ever wanted a computer to do mathematics the way a person does it? Are you curious about how computer algebra systems such as MATHEMATICA and MAPLE work? This course offers an introduction to computer algebra, the discipline that develops mathematical tools and computer software for the exact or arbitrary precision solution of equations. It evolved as a discipline linking algorithmic and abstract algebra to the methods of computer science and providing a different methodological tool in the border area between applied mathematics and computer science. It has as its theoretical roots the algorithmic-oriented mathematics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the algorithmic methods of logic developed in the first half of the twentieth century, and it was sparked by the need of physicists and mathematicians for extensive symbolic computations that could no longer be conducted by hand. |
