The goal of Computer Algebra: Concepts and Techniques is to demystify computer algebra systems for a wide audience including students, faculty, and professionals in scientific fields such as computer science, mathematics, engineering, and physics. Unlike previous books, the only prerequisites are knowledge of first year calculus and a little programming experience — a background that can be assumed of the intended audience. The book is written in a lean and lively style, with numerous examples to illustrate the issues and techniques discussed. It presents the principal algorithms and data structures, while also discussing the inherent and practical limitations of these systems

Industry Reviews

This is a very clearly written introductory textbook on computer algebra systems (CAS), focussing on some of the subject's commonly-used algorithms. It is aimed at beginners and assumes a good background in college algebra along with first-year calculus. It covers representative algorithms in a variety of areas, and these are done in enough detail that you would be able to implement them yourself if you wanted. [. . . .] The present book has just enough to get you started in computer algebra, and does a very good job of it.
