A computer algebra system (CAS) has the ability to manipulate mathematical expressions in a way similar to the traditional manual computations of mathematicians and scientists.
The symbolic manipulations supported include:
- simplification to a smaller expression or some standard form, including automatic simplification with assumptions and simplification with constraints
- substitution of symbols or numeric values for certain expressions
- change of form of expressions: expanding products and powers, partial and full factorization, rewriting as partial fractions, constraint satisfaction, rewriting trigonometric functions as exponentials, transforming logic expressions, etc.
- partial and total differentiation
- matrix operations including products, inverses, etc.
