This is the first comprehensive textbook to be published on the topic of computational symbolic mathematics. This book can be used as a textbook for a course on algebraic algorithms at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level.
It is a self-contained textbook and provides: * foundational materials from modern algebra * a thorough development of modern computational algorithms for a wide variety of problems * examples to aid the understanding of the mathematical development * an extensive set of exercises at the end of each chapter * algorithms presented in a Pascal-like computer language.
