Given the implicit equation for degree two curves (conics) and degree two surfaces (conicoids), algorithms are described here, which obtain their corresponding rational parametric equations (a polynomial divided by another). These rational parameterizaUons are considered over the fields of rationals
A Igorithms that can obtain rational and special parametric equations for degree three algebraic curves (cubics) and degree three algebraic surfaces (cubicoids), given their implicit equations are described. These algorithms have been implemented on a VAX8600 using VAXIMA.

Each normal rational curve in P G(n, F) admits a group P L( ) of automorphic collineations. It is well known that for characteristic zero only the empty and the entire subspace are P L( )invariant. In the case of characteristic p > 0 there may be further invariant subspaces. For #F β₯ n+2, we give a
