Symbolic C++ : an introduction to computer algebra using object-oriented programming

A demonstration of how the features of object-oriented programming may be applied to the development of a computer algebra system, where the selected programming language used is C++.

The design is based partly on solid experience and feedback from actual use.

The work should be suitable for lectures on symbolic computation and object-oriented programming, and the level of presentation is such that it could be used to study the subject early on in the science education process.

The header files of the object-oriented programming classes are provided in the appendices, as well as separately listed on the accompanying diskette, while the reference list provides a collection of textbooks useful in the study of C++.
