- Hello ...
-
- I'm in the process of looking for a speaker (the live kind) for a
- gathering on computer algebra, and I would like some assistance and
- opinions from the readers of this group.
-
- The basic question is ...
-
- In your opinion, is there a "father/mother" of computer algebra?
- That is, is there a person whose vision and/or direction brought about
- the development of the first forms of computer algebra (e.g. ALTRAN,
- MACSYMA, etc.)?
-
- Any information of current affliations of this person and definitive
- publications would also be of great assistance.
-
- I will post a summary of responses.
-
-
- Many thanks in advance.
