Abstract: Abstract When developing software for mathematical computations, we meet, apart from questions of code verification and empirical testing, a number of tasks at a higher level of abstraction. These include (i) Devising or selecting suitable algorithms to solve the problems, and being able to understand how these work; (ii) Selecting the ‘best’ algorithms according to certain criteria of efficiency, generality etc.; (iii) Proving that the chosen algorithms will work correctly for the class of problem which they are intended to solve.
