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 mathematics, computer, algebra and/or systems:
“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
—Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
