Objectives
  • Understanding inherent problems in symbolic computation (expression swell during computation, etc.)
  • Learning about underlying data structure for polynomials, symbolic expressions, etc.
  • Acquire practical experiences in collaborative project work
Subject Concrete projects will be fixed in the beginning of the course.

  • Programming in a computer algebra system (FriCAS, Mathematica, Maple)
  • Topics are be project specific, e.g.,
    • Implementation of efficient data structures for symbolic computation
    • Implementation of selected algorithms with polynoms
Criteria for evaluation Course evaluation via:

  • project deliverables (source code, testsuite, user and maintainer documentation)
  • presentation(s)
Methods guided project work in small groups
Language German/English
