SIGSAM (Paper Session)

Abstract

This is the first in a series of two tutorial sessions featuring lectures from the 1975-76 SIGSAM Lecture Program. Prof. Moses will describe Risch's decision procedure for determining the integrability in closed form of the elementary functions of the calculus together with examples. Prof. Griss will present an improved algorithm for computing the minors of a large sparse matrix of polynomials with emphasis on efficiency and optimal ordering.
