4.0 out of 5 stars State-of-the-art in CAS, Aug 6 2001
By 
Luca De Santis (Avezzano, AQ Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Computer Algebra (Hardcover)
I am a C programmer and this book was fundamental to introduce myself in the field of computer algebra systems (CAS). It's very well structured and at the state-of-the-art in that discipline. The only remarks is about the strong presence of author's mother-tongue influences in some English phrases.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mod. Computer Algebra, April 30 2001
This review is from: Modern Computer Algebra (Hardcover)
A lucidly written book. Has well balanced background and problems. However, it needs to have more tricky problems that really makes one think deeper though there are some. The book proves a very good assest to the Library.
