This is the first fully comprehensive introduction to REDUCE - one of the most widely available and easy to use computing algebra packages around. Based on extensive teaching experience, it provides full coverage of REDUCE, from setting up to using user-contributed REDUCE packages written for specific applications. This will enable users to gain familiarity with the full range of REDUCE commands whilst simultaneously learning of the internal workings of REDUCE. Numerous exercises are provided throughout to illustrate themes covered in the text as well as to encourage `hands on' working with REDUCE. Everyone coming to REDUCE for the first time will find this an invaluable tutor and guide.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to REDUCE. * L'Enseignement Mathématique, 1992 *
This is a well-constructed complement to the REDUCE user's manual, with a lot of background material as well as advanced examples ... it will prove useful to all serious users of the REDUCE system. * Dr A.H. Harker, AEA, Harwell, Contemporary Physics, Volume 33, Number 2, March/April 1992 *
If REDUCE is the system that you're using, then this is an excellent complement both to the system manual and to Gerald Rayna's REDUCE: software for algebraic computation. * Times Higher Educational Supplement *
...one of the best introductions to REDUCE available....the exercises included at the end of each chapter deserve special mention and have to be considered as one of the most original contributions of the book. They illustrate interesting applications of computer algebra in mathematical physics ranging from standard exercises oriented to develop skills using the package, to non-trivial problems intended to stimulate reflection on the particular point involved. * General Relativity and Gravitation, Vol. 27, No. 4, 1995 *
