Computeralgebra on a Ksr1 Parallel Computer

1. Computer Algebra. Computer algebra software is concerned with exact and symbolic computation. E.g. with the computation of the following expressions. The computation of large numbers (e.g. 1000!), the expansion of polynomial expressions (e.g. (x+y)^20), the symbolic integration of functions (e.g. int(sin(x),x)) or the determination of all solutions to systems of algebraic equations (e.g. solve({x+2*y = 2, x^2-3*y = 10},{x,y})). Prominent products in this class of software are Maple, Mathematica, Reduce and Derive.
