The Yacas Book of Algorithms |
This book is a detailed description of the algorithms used in the Yacas system for exact symbolic and arbitrary-precision numerical computations. Very few of these algorithms are new, and most are well-known. The goal of this book is to become a compendium of all relevant issues of design and implementation of these algorithms. |
(IN PROGRESS) Lisp as an Implementation Language for Computer Algebra Systems |
Lisp is a very simple language, one suited for doing computer algebra. Almost all CAS systems today owe a lot to the ideas that came from Lisp. This is a book on the Lisp language, and its connection to Yacas. Yacas is built on top of a Lisp dialect. |
