Symbolic Computational Algebra Applied to Picard Iteration.

Peer reviewed

Mathews, John – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989

Uses muMATH to illustrate the step-by-step process in translating mathematical theory into the symbolic manipulation setting. Shows an application of a Picard iteration which uses a computer to generate a sequence of functions which converge to a solution. (MVL)
