Computer Algebra

Definition of Computer Algebra as it relates to Science, Mathematics

Computer Algebra refers to the field of study concerned with using computers to perform mathematical calculations and symbolic manipulations. It encompasses the development and implementation of algorithms, software systems, and tools that enable computers to automate complex mathematical processes, such as solving equations, simplifying expressions, differentiating and integrating functions, and performing computations in abstract algebraic structures like groups, rings, and fields. The goal of computer algebra is to provide mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and students with powerful computational tools that can help them explore and understand mathematical concepts, solve challenging problems, and make new discoveries. Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are the software programs that implement these algorithms and provide a user-friendly interface for performing symbolic computations. Examples of CAS include Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB, and Maxima.
