✦ Synopsis

Computer algebra is a tool building activity. This paper is a review of acceptance of this tool by physicists and theoretical chemists during the period from the EUROSAM-79 survey to the Spring of 1988, as reflected by the literature which quotes computer algebra.

After considering the traditional areas of application; celestial mechanics, relativity and quantum mechanics, we extend our examination to other areas of physics which would appear, from the literature, to he using computer algebra efficiently: fluid mechanics, plasma physics, optics, perturbation technology, continuum mechanics, numerical analysis for physics, mechanics, non-linear evolution equations, theoretical chemistry and other applications.

One way of using a computer algebra system to do research in finite geometry is to use the system to construct "small" order examples of various constructions, and then hope to recognize a pattern that can be generalized and eventually proven. Of course, initially one does not know if the "small" or
