I want to try and write a program that can solve algebra problems in C++, how would I go about doing this (I already know some C++, I just need a basic idea of how to go about using variables, constants, etc. to do algebra)?

a. choose a different language, like haskell or lisp.
b. read sicp
No, really, no trolling.

Please elaborate on what sort of algebraic solver you are trying to make.

The one that evalutes P=NP and x/0 with a definite solution

In that case, only x86 assembler is powerful enough to help you.

It is called symbolic computation. You have to use abstraction! Thus you will fail because you posted on prog.

The equivalence of the classes P and NP are unknowable. Stop trying.

What makes you think so?

You can do any algebraic equation after reading about 30 pages of SICP. It's worth it.

It's called numerical programming.
Any decent 4 year college will offer a specialized CS degree in it.
Go buy the text book. Make sure it covers Gaussian Elimination.
get "algorithms in C++" by R. Sedgewick, it has a few good algorithms for mathmatical purposes; alternatively use "Numerical Recipies in C"(fucking old but still the best book for numerical computing).

don't you mean "Numerical Recipies in C++" or do they have one for C as well
