Can Computer Algebra be Liberated from its Algebraic Yoke ?
<|reference_start|>Can Computer Algebra be Liberated from its Algebraic Yoke ?: So far, the scope of computer algebra has been needlessly restricted to exact algebraic methods. Its possible extension to approximate analytical methods is discussed. The entangled roles of functional analysis and symbolic programming, especially the functional and transformational paradigms, are put forward. In the future, algebraic algorithms could constitute the core of extended symbolic manipulation systems including primitives for symbolic approximations.<|reference_end|>
