Computer Algebra

Computer algebra refers to the use of computer software to perform algebraic operations and solve mathematical problems symbolically, rather than just numerically. This means that the software manipulates mathematical expressions—like equations or polynomials—similarly to how a person would, allowing it to simplify expressions, solve equations, or perform calculus tasks. Programs like Mathematica, Maple, and SymPy can handle complex calculations, making it easier and faster for researchers, engineers, and students to work with mathematical problems without manually performing tedious algebraic steps. Overall, it enhances productivity and accuracy in mathematical computations.
