" ""There is no doubt that this book is a labour of love. It grew out of the author's lectures on computer algebra . . . and was perfected over the years, as one can see from the careful choice of topics, and the smoothness with which the text flows . . . this is not just a wonderful book to teach from, but one that can be read profitably by any bright undergraduate student."" -S. C. Coutinho, The Mathematical Gazette, July 2004""A readable introduction to computer algebra . . . useful to undergraduate students of mathematics and computer science. The text is also accessible to a more general audience interested in computer algebra and its applications."" -EMS Newsletter, June 2004"
