	Computer algebra system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The study of algorithms useful for computer algebra systems is known as computer algebra.
		The run-time of numerical programs implemented in computer algebra systems is normally longer than that of equivalent programs implemented in systems such as MATLAB, GNU Octave, or directly in C, since they are programmed for full symbolic generality and thus cannot use machine numerical operations directly for most of their functions.
		Computer algebra systems began to appear in the early 1970s, and evolved out of research into artificial intelligence, though the fields are now regarded as largely separate.

	MIT's introductory computing subject
		MIT's entry-level computing subject, 6.001, emphasizes controlling the complexity of software systems through general techniques common to all engineering design: building abstractions to hide details and to separate specification from implementation, establishing conventional interfaces to allow the creation of standard modules, and shifting modes of linguistic description.
		In addition, they consider top-down hierarchical design, so often emphasized as a central theme in computer programming subjects, to be a minor and relatively simplistic strategy in the programmer's arsenal for attacking complex problems.
		The course is required of all MIT undergraduates majoring in either Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, and is recommended for other majors where computation pays a major role.

	Fermat, Computer Algebra System II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		By "exact symbolic" we mean computation with polynomials whose coefficients are integers (of any size), rational numbers, or finite fields, as opposed to coefficients that are "floats" of a certain precision.
		In the last few years several smaller CA systems focused on polynomials have been produced at universities by individual researchers or small teams.
		In this paper we compare these small systems to each other and to two of the large systems (Maple and Magma) on a set of problems involving exact symbolic computation with polynomials and matrices.
