Edited by the principal designers of the program, this book explores the computer algebra system Magma. Based on the ontology and semantics of algebra, Magma enables users to rapidly formulate and perform calculations in abstract parts of mathematics. Coverage ranges from number theory and algebraic geometry, through representation theory and group theory to discrete mathematics and graph theory. Includes 14 case studies describing innovative computations underpinning new theoretical results.
