Using a CAS for comparing two algebraic expressions

Computer algebra systems (CASs) are extremely powerful tools that can be used for simplifying and manipulating complicated algebraic expressions and equations; however, the solutions that are produced are not always in forms that one can recognize or use.

Zusammenfassung:Computer algebra systems (CASs) are extremely powerful tools that can be used for simplifying and manipulating complicated algebraic expressions and equations; however, the solutions that are produced are not always in forms that one can recognize or use. Kerr and Hollebrands offer a strategy to determine whether the form that is generated by hand is equivalent to a form that is produced by the CAS.
