Computer science and algebra

Computer science and algebra The symbolic system of mathematical logic called Boolean algebra represents relationships between entities either ideas or objects. George Boole of England formulated the basic rules of the system in 1847. The Boolean algebra eventually became a cornerstone of computer science.

With the publication of A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Svntching Circuits (1940) and A Mathematical Theory of Communication (1948), American mathematician Claude Elwood Shannon introduced a new area for the application of Boolean algebra. He showed that the basic properties of series and parallel combinations of electric devices such as relays could be adequately represented by this symbolic algebra. Since then. Boolean algebra has played a significant role in computer science and technology. 

We propose [15] a set of basis tensor algebra subroutines or btas. Tensors and tensor operators arise in many fields in the computational sciences, including computational quantum chemistry. The nomenclature BTAs(m,n), with m > n, where m and n are the respective ranks of the tensors, is proposed to establish a high level classification of tensor operations. The BTAS can be classified as follows -BTAS(1,0) BTAS(1,1)... 

In the present time with almost unlimited computer facilities in the analytical laboratory, analytical chemists should be able to obtain substantial benefits from the application of time series, information theory, multivariate statistics, a.o. factor analysis and pattern recognition, operations research, numerical analysis, linear algebra, computer science, artificial intelligence, etc. This is in fact what chemo-metricians have been doing for the past decades. 

The section that follows describes basic background concepts and nomenclature. Then a classification of various programming models is outlined. Computational chemistry applications rely on many kinds of linear algebra and on equation-solving techniques that use new computer science algorithms. These implementations are delineated. A partial review of current and planned applications, developed on today s MPP supercomputers for chemistry, is presented. The last section of text gives a summary and our conclusions. Finally, we present a glossary and an appendix that reviews the currently available MPP machines.

In addition to the beautiful fundamental theory. Combinatorial Algebraic Topology has numerous applications. Classically, these he in discrete mathematics, as well as in theoretical computer science. As we shall see in Chap>-ter 9, there are many constructions that take some combinatorial data as input and produce some cell complex as output. This time, the idea is that the algebro-topological invariants of this complex should have a bearing on the combinatorial properties of the initial data. 

Enumerations of coronoid systems is a substantial part of the work. Algebraic methods involving combinatorics and generating functions are employed on one hand, and computer programming on the other. The whole book is supposed to demonstrate a piece of mathematical chemistry, which can be characterized as lying on the "interfaces between mathematics, chemistry and computer science", a formulation used for the MATH/CHEM/COMP Conferences cf. Cyvin SJ, BrunvoU and Cyvin (1989d) in BibUography. 

The applications of algebra are numerous, which means that those interested in algebra can pursue jobs and careers in a wide range of fields, including business, engineering, and science, particularly computer science.
