Computer Aided Proofs in Analysis

This volume is the proceedings of a scientific conference on the use of computers to do exact mathematics which was held at the University of Cincinnati, March 22-25, 1989. One group of papers deals with the use of general algebraic processors like Macsyma, Reduce, Scratchpad etc. to do precise computations in bifurcation analysis and related areas of analysis. Another group of papers deals with the development of the software to solve equations exactly, carry of explicit integrations etc. for these general software packages. A third group discusses the use of interval arithmetic algorithms and software to give rigorous proofs of mathematical theorems and give precise estimates of stabililty regions.
