Abstract

This paper reports on a work in progress aiming at designing and implementing a system for representing and manipulating mathematical knowledge. Its kernel is a computer algebra system but it shows several of the features of the so-called knowledge-based systems. The main issues considered here are the software engineering aspects of the project, the definition of a new language to support the system and the use of AI techniques in a field where algebraic algorithms are the building stones of systems. This defines an environment which enables not only to have data-bases of knowledge but also to implement an expert use of this knowledge.
