This is a very clearly written introductory textbook on computer algebra systems (CAS), focussing on some of the subject's commonly-used algorithms. It is aimed at beginners and assumes a good background in college algebra along with first-year calculus. It covers representative algorithms in a variety of areas, and these are done in enough detail that you would be able to implement them yourself if you wanted. [. . . .] The present book has just enough to get you started in computer algebra, and does a very good job of it. -Allen Stenger, MAA Reviews
