the name of the ACM special interest group is SIGSAM (symbolic and algebraic manipulation) Over the years I think there was more concern over various unpleasant meanings of "manipulation" especially when translated into other languages. Some people writing programs for symbolic math probably thought they were very good at algebra, from high school. Symbolic Mathematical Computation seems to be a cleaner phrase. Other people use Mathematical Knowledge in various ways. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
