Modern algebra self-taught through APL

Published: 01 September 1993 Publication History

Abstract

The study of modern algebra, especially that of finite algebra and its applications to error codes, was aided by the computer. The paper shows how a college student used APL for self-teaching this university-level subject. The approach of self-teaching is presented. It is shown how the learning process can be augmented through the use of APL. Various finite algebra problems and their APL solutions are presented, including error detecting codes and the search for irreducible and primitive polynomials.
