Sommario/riassunto

Computers are changing the way we think. Of course, nearly all desk-workers have access to computers and use them to email their colleagues, search the Web for information and prepare documents. But I’m not referring to that. I mean that people have begun to think about what they do in computational terms and to exploit the power of computers to do things that would previously have been unimaginable. This observation is especially true of mathematicians. Arithmetic computation is one of the roots of mathematics. Since Euclid’s algorithm for finding greatest common divisors, many seminal mathematical contributions have consisted of new procedures. But powerful computer graphics have now enabled mathematicians to envisage the behaviour of these procedures and, thereby, gain new insights, make new conjectures and explore new avenues of research. Think of the explosive interest in fractals, for instance. This has been driven primarily by our new-found ability rapidly to visualize fractal shapes, such as the Mandelbrot set. Taking advantage of these new opportunities has required the learning of new skills, such as using



computer algebra and graphics packages.
