Description
Summary:"The central theme is the description of nearly linear-time algorithms, which are extremely fast in terms of both asymptotic analysis and practical running time. A significant part of the permutation group library of the computational group algebra system GAP is based on nearly linear-time algorithms." "The book fills a significant gap in the symbolic computation literature. It is recommended for everyone interested in using computers in group theory and is suitable for advanced graduate courses."--Jacket
