Abstract:

SYMAP1 is a BRLESC computer program designed to carry out a variety of algebraic symbol manipulations including arithmetic operations, substitution, certain kinds of simplifications, and rudimentary differentiation. Main emphasis has been on polynomials in several variables including truncated power series, but certain other mathematical forms can also be manipulated. Examples of certain applications to numerical analysis and theory of equations are included.
