Preface
puter algebra system (CAS) not only has the ability to "crunch numbers"
and plot results, like puting languages such as Fortran and C,
but it can also perform the symbolic manipulations and analytic derivations
required in most undergraduate and graduate science and engineering courses.
To introduce students in these disciplines to mathematical modeling •
putation using a CAS, the authors have previously puter Algebra
