✦ Synopsis

A sophisticated model for linear waves in an inhomogeneous plasma is tackled completely using the computer algebra system REDUCE. The algebra code mirrors the mathematics, and is structured in a simple and straightforward manner. In so doing, the solution technique is made obvious, and the overall philosophy of" the approach is intuitive to the non-specialist computer algebra user. DPHI *RRS + 2*DPHI*PPS*RLAM2 + PPS *RLAM3 + PPS*RR$ not* that the wave number is denoted by KK. This result has been used in subsequent work in plasma physics (see Diver and Laing, 1990).
