Symbolic C++: An Introduction to Computer Algebra Using Object-Oriented Programming provides a concise introduction to C++ and object-oriented programming, using a step-by-step construction of a new object-oriented designed computer algebra system - Symbolic C++. It shows how object-oriented programming can be used to implement a symbolic algebra system and how this can then be applied to different areas in mathematics and physics. This second revised edition:- Explains the new powerful classes that have been added to Symbolic C++. Includes the Standard Template Library. Extends the Java section. Contains useful classes in scientific computation. Contains extended coverage of Maple, Mathematica, Reduce and MuPAD.

This book gives a comprehensive introduction to computer algebra together with advanced topics in this field. It provides a detailed coverage of the mathematics of computer algebra as well as a step-by-step guide to implement a computer algebra system in the object-oriented language C++. The used tools from C++ are introduced in detail.Numerous examples from mathematics, physics and engineering are presented to illustrate the system's capabilities. Computer algebra implementations in LISP and Haskell are also included. In addition, gene expression programming and multiexpression programming with applications to computer algebra are introduced.
