1Symbolic Manipulation Program — Symbolic Manipulation Program, usually called SMP, was a computer algebra system designed by Chris A. Cole and Stephen Wolfram at Caltech circa 1979 and initially developed in the Caltech physics department under Wolfram s leadership with… …
2Symbolic computation — Symbolic computation, algebraic computation, or, less commonly, symbolic manipulation, symbolic processing, symbolic mathematics, or symbolic algebra, relates to the use of machines, such as computers, to manipulate mathematical equations and… …
3Symbolic logic — is the area of mathematics which studies the purely formal properties of strings of symbols. The interest in this area springs from two sources. First, the symbols used in symbolic logic can be seen as representing the words used in philosophical …
4Symbolic link — In computing, a symbolic link (also symlink or soft link ) is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. [… …
5Symbolic simulation — In computer science, a simulation is a computation of the execution of some appropriately modelled state transition system. Typically this process models the complete state of the system at individual points in a discrete linear time frame,… …
6Computing the permanent — In mathematics, the computation of the permanent of a matrix is a problem that is believed to be more complex than the computation of the determinant of a matrix despite the apparent similarity of the definitions. The permanent is defined… …
7Symbolic method — In mathematics, the symbolic method in invariant theory is a highly formal algorithm developed in the 19th century for computing form invariants mdash; invariants of algebraic forms. It is based on repeated applications of the Omega process… …
8Symbolic Stream Generator — The Symbolic Stream Generator (or SSG) is a software productivity aid by Unisys for their mainframe computers of the former UNIVAC 1100/2200 series. SSG is used to generate RUN Streams (corresponding to IBM s Job Control Language), apply and… …
9History of computing hardware — Computing hardware is a platform for information processing (block diagram) The history of computing hardware is the record of the ongoing effort to make computer hardware faster, cheaper, and capable of storing more data. Computing hardware… …
