Description and Table of Contents
Description
REDUCE is a simple computer algebra system which enables users to manipulate complex algebraic expressions and equations symbolically, as mathematicians and scientists do traditionally on paper. Its capabilities include differentiation and exact symbolic integration. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to REDUCE, including some of the user-contributed REDUCE packages written for specific applications. The authors' aim is to enable all students using REDUCE for the first time to gain a familiarity with the full range of REDUCE commands whilst at the same time learning something of its internal workings. Throughout, numerous exercises are provided to illustrate themes covered in the text as well as to encourage "hands on" practice.
