Computer Algebra

Motivation

I recently started using computer algebra (mainly Gröbner bases in Maple) to study various lattices and geometrical figures, and their uses in numerical integration and experimental design.

I am involved with Henry Wynn, Eva Riccomagno and others in an EPSRC-funded project (Project Code 7024STA) on computer algebra & experimental design.

Books

Adams & Loustaunau (1994)
Cox, Little & O'Shea (1992)
The icon at the top of the page is based on the front cover of this (excellent) book.
Becker & Weispfenning (1991)
Davenport, Siret & Tournier (1988)
Sturmfels (1996)
(as you can see, I'm a Gröbner fan).

The efforts of computer engineers have already produced a mechanical Briggs (who spent his lifetime computing logarithms) and a mechanical Barlow (whose famous Tables were a life's work), but no one has ever conceived of a mechanical Napier (for he invented logarithms).

I cannot do it without compters.
