I am a big user of MathCad and am mystified by its powers of symbolic
computation - a subset of Maple. (Other software packages also have
this capability.)
How do they do this? I would like to have at least an overview
understanding of how this is done. Is it some clever implementation of
a lookup table algorithm? Can anyone elaborate or point to a URL?
My naive guess (a model) is that the process is similar to OCR
(optical character recognition).
