Download or read book The Design of a User Interface for Computer Algebra Systems written by Neil M. Soiffer and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis introduces the idea of translations. Translations convert between the form used by a Computer Algebra System and the mathematical notation displayed on the screen. Translations increase the portability of the interface and allow it to communicate with different Computer Algebra Systems during a single session. Tranlsations can be grouped together to form notation libraries which can be used to eliminate some of the ambiguity inherent in mathematical notation.
