The AAECC conferences focus on the algebraic aspects of modern computer science, which includes the most up-to-date and advanced topics. The topic of error-correcting codes is one where theory and implementation are unifiedinto a subject both of mathematical beauty and of practical importance. Algebraic algorithms are not only interesting theoretically but also important in computer and communication engineering and many other fields. This volume contains the proceedings of the 9th AAECC conference, held in New Orleans, LA, in October 1991. Researchers from Europe, America, Japan and other...

The material in this book presents an introduction to the Indian contributions to the science of computing. The book starts with an overview of Indian science. The next three chapters deal with the description of binary numbers, the Katapayadi notation and its equivalence to hashing that is used in computer systems, and the Panini-Backus form to describe a high-level computer language based on the ideas of the great grammarian Panini. The next two chapters describe some technical aspects of Panini's grammar and Indian logic. The Paninian structure (5th century BCE) has been shown to be...
