Synopsis
How computers learn algebra: practical methods for symbolic manipulation
This nonfiction work chronicles early experiments in turning algebra into computer routines. It explains why teams built their own algebraic tools and how they chose representations, memory layouts, and simplified notation to handle polynomials and power series.
The book surveys the hardware and software choices that shaped a specialized algebraic manipulator. It covers the goals of solving real problems, from expanding polynomials to substituting series, and describes the trade‑offs between convenience, speed, and accuracy in early computer algebra.- How internal and external notations were aligned for easy programming and debugging
- Use of a list processor to manage expressions and intermediate results
- Subroutines for substitution, differentiation, truncation, and solving linear equations
- Example problems that illustrate step‑by‑step manipulation of polynomials and series

Some Experiments in Algebraic, Manipulation by Computer (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of algebraic manipulation using computers. It presents a series of problems of increasing difficulty that the author attempted to solve, using a set of subroutines they wrote for the IBM 7094 computer, referred to as SYMBCLANG. The problems range from expanding and simplifying polynomials to obtaining series solutions of differential equations. The author's journey provides valuable insights into the challenges and techniques involved in symbolic computation, a field that has gained significant traction in recent years. This book will appeal to computer scientists, mathematicians, and anyone interested in the intersection of computing and algebra. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780365549789_0
