| Introduction | My research interests: applications of Computer Algebra (CA) in diversified fields such as engineering, mathematics and biotechnology, and Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) algorithm. I have a double degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, a master in Mathematics with minor in Computer Science and a Phd in Engineering (Computer Algebra). My current research project (collaboration with the Univ. of New Mexico (UNM), USA): “Developing an automated assistant for computing integrals over polynomially defined regions and their boundaries using a CAS (01-01-02-SF0791: RM107, 300)”. In this project, we want to know some of the intermediate results (not just the end results) without user intervention during the solving process. In other words, when a problem occurs in the solving process, this tool has the potential to detect where the problem arises and the user can recommend necessary steps on how to solve it. The CAD algorithms published in the Journal of Mathematics and Computers in Simulation 82 (2011) 79-101,(IMACS): J. Wester, Y. Yaacob & S. Steinberg, wouldn’t be able to do this. Therefore, significant changes need to be made to the existing CAD algorithms. |
