β¦ Synopsis
Polynomial interpolation and related numerical analysis questions are used to take users of computer algebra systems from issuing one-liners to writing more complex programs.
An alternate use of the outlined lessons is to introduce students to interpolation and acquaint them with splines and numerical differentiation. Constructive symbolic derivations of formulae for polynomial interpolants are presented. Numerical differentiation formulae are derived using them. Necessary background material is introduced. The examples and assignments can be done using any general purpose symbolic manipulator; complete codes using the computer algebra system AXIOM are given.

Rota's Umbral Calculus uses sequences of Sheffer polynomials to count certain combinatorial objects. We review this theory and some of its generalizations in light of our computer implementation (Maple V.3). A Mathematica version of this package is being developed in parallel.
In this paper, we describe the Central Control, a software component that enables several symbolic systems to cooperate and exchange data. The Central Control has been designed to be the kernel of an environment for scientific computations which can offer a common and concurrent access to several to
