What is the Computer Algebra I
Computer Algebra – or symbolical algebraic systems
Software packages that are capable doing symbolic computation (mostly withthoughtful numerical and graphical abilities). The word ”algebraic” theremeans that operation with symbolic objects are originated in algebra.
The fundamental object of these systems
representing mathematical objects symbolically
doing arithmetics with these objects
The main function of Computer Algebra as scientific discipline
. . . On foundation of this arithmetic searching effective algortithms, analysingand realisationing them to the scientific research and adaptation. [JK]

The ”ancients”
There were life before the computers (?)
The followings play crucial role in Computer Algebra nowadaystoo:
Euclidean algortithmSearching the greatest common divisor (not only fornumbers), inverting in finite fields.
Chinese reamainder theorem”Inverting” homomorphisms.Newton interpolationSolving equations.
