Historically, this approach - results in programs that implicitly used certain identities to - simplify expressions. These identities, which very likely seemed - universally true to the programmers in the heat of writing the CAS - (and often were true in well-known abstract algebraic domains) later - neede re-examination when such systems were extended for dealing with - kinds of objects unanticipated in the original design. These new - objects are generally introduced to the CAS by extending - ``generically'' the arithmetic of other operations. For example, - approximate floats do not have the mathematical properties of exact - integers or rationals. Complex numbers may strain a system designed - for real-valued variables. In the situation examined here, we consider - two categories of ``extended'' numbers: $\infty$ and {\sl undefined}, - and real intervals. We comment on issues raised by these two - troublesome notions, how their introduction into a computer algebra - system may require a (sometimes painful) reconsideration and redesign - of parts of the program, and how they are related. An alternative - (followed most notably by the Axiom system is to essentially envision - a ``meta'' CAS defined in terms of categories and inheritance with - only the most fundamental built-in concepts; from these one can build - many variants of specific CAS features. This approach is appealing but - can fail to accommodate extensions that violate some mathematical - tenets in the cause of practicality." + "Most of us have taken the exact rational and approximate numbers in + our computer algebra systems for granted for a long time, not thinking + to ask if they could be significantly better.
