If the mention of algebra conjures bad memories of math classes, a Python library called SymPy could change your mind about the subject. With SymPy, algebraic operations become easier than tedious ...

The Hindu is introducing a new section called Toolbox, which will explain how to use software and hardware tools for everyday use. This will be of interest to learners, students, hobbyists, and anyone ...

Algebra is the bane of many a student, but it is surprisingly useful when it comes to electronics. Sure, you can just memorize all the permutations of things like Ohm’s law. But it is better if you ...

Cadabra is a computer algebra system (CAS) designed specifically for the solution of problems encountered in field theory. It has extensive functionality for tensor computer algebra, tensor polynomial ...

Don’t get me wrong. Like most people, there’s nothing I enjoy more than solving a long, involved math problem by hand. But, sometimes, a few pages of algebraic scratches on paper is just a means to an ...

The use of computer algebra systems in a course on scientific computation is demonstrated. Various examples, such as the derivation of Newton's iteration formula, the secant method, Newton-Cotes and ...

Maple is a commercial computer algebra system developed by Maplesoft. Maple provides quick calculations, the development of design sheets, teaching fundamental concepts, and producing high-fidelity ...

Previously in this space, I have covered software packages like Maxima that can be used to solve symbolic mathematics problems. Several packages are available that can do those types of calculations.

Dr. Char's research interests include computer algebra (systems, applications, theory); symbolic/numeric computing; scientific computation; parallel and distributed computation; computer environments ...
