Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing 8th International Workshop, CASC 2005, Kalamata, Greece, September 12-16, 2005, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing, CASC 2005, held in Kalamata, Greece in September 2005.
The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The topics addressed in the workshop cover all the basic areas of scientific computing as they benefit from the application of computer algebra methods and software: algebraic methods for nonlinear polynomial equations and inequalities, symbolic-numeric methods for differential and differential-algebraic equations, algorithmic and complexity considerations in computer algebra, algebraic methods in geometric modelling, aspects of computer algebra programming languages, automatic reasoning in algebra and geometry, complexity of algebraic problems, exact and approximate computation, parallel symbolic-numeric computation, Internet accessible symbolic and numeric computation, problem-solving environments, symbolic and numerical computation in systems engineering and modelling, computer algebra in industry, solving problems in the natural sciences, numerical simulation using computer algebra systems, mathematical communication.
