Symbolic and Numerical Scientific Computation

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Conference on Symbolic and Numerical Scientific Computation, SNSC 2001, held in Hagenberg, Austria, in September 2001.

The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on symbolics and numerics of differential equations, symbolics and numerics in algebra and geometry, and applications in physics and engineering.
