Computer Algebra is the art of using a computer to perform exact mathematical computations. The aim of this course is to cover the fundamental algorithms of this field (from the Fast Fourier Transform to Gröbner bases), while providing the students with a practical familiarity with its uses and applications through tutorials using Maple. After this course, no student will think of using pen-and-paper for long mathematical derivations.
