Integrating symbolic mathematical computation and artificial intelligence

This volume contains thoroughly revised full versions of the best papers presented at the Second International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Sympolic Mathematical Computation, held in Cambridge, UK in August 1994. The 19 papers included give clear evidence that now, after a quite long period when AI and mathematics appeared to have arranged an amicable separation, these fields are growing together again as an area of fruitful interdisciplinary activities. This book explores the interaction between mathematical computation and clears the ground for future concentration on topics that can further unify the field.
