Summary: Good overview
Review: A lucidly written book. Has well balanced background and problems. However, it needs to have more tricky problems that really makes one think deeper though there are some. The book proves a very good assest to the Library.

Summary: MCA - very adequate book on computer algebra topics
Review: Covering a lot of topics on "Computer Algebra" this book is a fine workout. Many mathematical proofs are provided and most subjects are explaned and outlined very accurate. Only sometimes things can not as easily be seen as the author clames. The homepage of Mr. von zur Gathen provides a postscript file with corrections and additions and even more one containing solutions to many of the given exercises.

Summary: State-of-the-art in CAS
Review: I am a C programmer and this book was fundamental to introduce myself in the field of computer algebra systems (CAS). It's very well structured and at the state-of-the-art in that discipline. The only remarks is about the strong presence of author's mother-tongue influences in some English phrases.
