Overview

This book provides a hands-on approach to computer symbolic computation using the elementary commands of Python. Symbolic computer mathematics is the study of algorithms that can be implemented as computer programs which provide exact results rather than numerical approximations.

Content Highlights

The author begins by discussing Python essentials and number theory. Then, the book covers the simplification and evaluation of expressions involving multivariate rational functions, the exact solutions of systems of linear equations, and applications of polynomial algebra. Programs in symbolic differentiation and indefinite integration programs are also developed.
