- Synopsis:
-
Practically oriented introduction to computer algebra systems (CAS): their main characteristics, ways and means of using them. Constituent part is realized in computer classrooms: students acquire basic skills with CAS by solving relatively simple and basic tasks from mathematics and physics.
