ABSTRACT

Present computer algebra systems base their interactive sessions on a very simple model of mathematical discourse. The user's input to the system is a line containing a mathematical expression (an operation, a formula, a set of equations, etc) and the system's response to the user is an output line which contains a mathematical expression similar to the input. There are many situations, however, in which this is too simple a model of mathematics. Algebra systems should be allowed to reply 'Well ... it isn't quite that simple'.
