Review: Algebra for Symbolic Computation


Algebra for Symbolic Computation
Algebra for Symbolic Computation by Antonio Machì

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



...Rather than taking the reader somewhere even like CORDIC, the presentation is the expected corollaries of classical analysis. The result is a concisely presented range of classical results including Chinese remainder theorem, polynomial interpolation, p-adic expansions of rational and algebraic numbers, discrete Fourier transform, and more. There is a light amount of examples and exercises which would benefit from implementation details for software packages such as MATLAB or Maple.
