Computer Algebra Handbook Foundations · Applications · Systems

Two ideas lie gleaming on the jeweler's velvet. The first is the calculus, the sec­ ond, the algorithm. The calculus and the rich body of mathematical analysis to which it gave rise made modern science possible; but it has been the algorithm that has made possible the modern world. -David Berli...
