Modern Computer Algebra 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition

English edition by Joachim von zur Gathen (Autor), Jürgen Gerhard (Autor) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Computer algebra systems are now ubiquitous in all areas of science and engineering. This highly successful textbook, widely regarded as the 'bible of computer algebra', gives a thorough introduction to the algorithmic basis of the mathematical engine in computer algebra systems. Designed to accompany one- or two-semester courses for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in computer science or mathematics, its comprehensiveness and reliability has also made it an essential reference for professionals in the area. Special features include: detailed study of algorithms including time analysis; implementation reports on several topics; complete proofs of the mathematical underpinnings; and a wide variety of applications (among others, in chemistry, coding theory, cryptography, computational logic, and the design of calendars and musical scales). A great deal of historical information and illustration enlivens the text. In this third edition, errors have been corrected and much of the Fast Euclidean Algorithm chapter has been renovated.

Product description

Review

'This book is a delight; I heartily recommend it to anybody who has interest at all in how their CAS works and anybody who enjoys seeing elegant and rigorous mathematics applied to practical problems.' Alistair Fitt

'Wow! What a beautifully produced book, and what a wealth of information! Also written in perfect idiomatic English by two German authors' Don Knuth

'On each page I can feel thorough understanding and love for the subject and uncompromising scholarship in presenting its story. A masterpiece.' Erich Kaltofen

' … a most successful balance of intuition, rigorous mathematics, interesting and beautiful applications and completeness. The extensive collection of exercises makes it into an ideal textbook for the use in a graduate course.' Ton Levelt

' … a wonderful book! I am working my way through it (for what will probably be the first of many times), and am very pleased with it … aesthetically beautiful, with the color plots and multitudes of epigraphs for each chapter.' Todd Moon

' … it looks stunning! …' Hendrik Lenstra

'It's really an impressive work. I'm sure it will become a reference for computer algebra algorithms, and stay it for a long time.' Paul Zimmermann

'… a welcome survey of a fast-gorwing and toical area of modern mathematics and computer science.' European Maths Society Journal

' … a pleasure to read. I predict it will be a major success.' Steve Cook

'The style is very clear. The arguments are very precise. In my opinion, the level of presentation is convenient for graduate students, some parts are quite readable for good undergraduate students. The typography and the quality of illustration of this Cambridge book are splendid. To conclude, I find the quality of this book really exceptional, this is certainly an excellent source on the state of the art in computer algebra.' Maurice Mignottte, Zbl. MATH

' … a most fascinating and readable survey of methods that are used by modern Computer Algebra Systems (CAS's). This book is a delight; I heartly recommend it (a) to anybody who has any interest at all in how their CAS works and (b) to anybody who enjoys seeing elegant and rigorous mathematics applied to practical problems.' Alistair Fitt, University of Southampton

5.0 out of 5 stars Inhalt verständlich aufbereitet
Reviewed in Germany on 29 January 2021
Die Anwendungsbeispiele zeigen die Anwendung im Fachgebiert gut. Übungen sind kleinschrittig und (soweit) machbar. Die Buchbindung hat nach ~3 Monaten Nutzung keine Auffälligkeiten wie andere Nutzer beschrieben haben.

This is a great book contentwise, but the binding is really poor. I’ve hardly used it and it is already falling apart – very disappointing considering the high price paid.
