Mathematics Used in Computer Algebra Systems
- Symbolic integration - Risch algorithm
- Hypergeometric summation - Gosper's algorithm
- Limit computation - Gruntz's algorithm
- Polynomial factorization. Over finite fields, Berlekamp's algorithm or Cantor–Zassenhaus algorithm is used.
- Greatest common divisor - Euclidean algorithm
- Gaussian elimination
- Gröbner basis - Buchberger's algorithm; generalization of Euclidean algorithm and Gaussian elimination
- Padé approximant
- Schwartz–Zippel lemma and testing polynomial identities
- Chinese remainder theorem
- Diophantine equations
- Quantifier elimination over real numbers - Tarski's method/Cylindrical algebraic decomposition
- Landau's algorithm
- Derivatives of elementary and special functions (e.g. see Incomplete Gamma function)

Famous quotes containing the words computer, algebra and/or systems:
“Family life is not a computer program that runs on its own; it needs continual input from everyone.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (18831955)
“People stress the violence. Thats the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it theres a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. Theres a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, theres a satisfaction to the game that cant be duplicated. Theres a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
