Abstract: Symbolic computation refers to using machines or computers to manipulate mathematical equations and expressions in symbolic form, as opposed to numerical manipulation.Using symbolic computing to solve mathematical problems involves manipulations of symbolic objects, rules or programs, with the main goal of being exact.This is unlike most numeric calculations where computations use approximate floating point arithmetic.This paper provides a brief introduction to symbolic computing, its applications, benefits, and challenges.
