Description:

Computer Algebra Packages (CAP) are an integral part of Mathematical Software. In addition to their powerful symbolic manipulation capabilities, they also provide the users with a large number of appealing features, such as arbitrary-precision calculations, a fully integrated framework for numerical/symbolic computation, nice visualization tools and graphical user interfaces (GUIs), reliable and fast communication tools and protocols, the possibility of running remote kernels and performing calculations on the Web, etc.

This session will focus on new software developments (packages, notebooks, worksheets, libraries, etc.) carried out on any computer algebra package and introducing innovative solutions to mathematical and scientific problems. The session will also be a forum for the discussion of the potential and real advantages and shortcomings of these computer algebra systems for mathematical software.
