Description

This course considers various topics in how computers represent and manipulate symbolic and exact data. We consider the mathematics and algorithms behind the methods used by computer algebra systems to represent and treat exact numbers with unlimited precision. We also consider the algorithms they use to manipulate polynomials and to perform calculus. Most of the course is based on MAPLE, but other computer algebra systems will be discussed.

Note: MATH1081 is recommended.
