Some Human Interaction Issues in Computer Algebra Norbert Kajler and Neil Soiffer Abstract This paper addresses some of the current issues concerning the improvement of user interfaces for computer algebra systems. Some state of the art commercial software as well as research prototypes are presented, followed by a description of present research directions. Introduction interfaces for Symbolic Computation tools could be improved [4], [28], [45]. Effective implementations took more time to appear. More recently, Nell Soiffer [39] presented his work on the development of user interfaces for Computer Algebra systems. We also contributed to this reflection by highlighting the needed extensibility of the user interface [24], and proposed some methodologies to build a coherent and distributed software environment for Computer Algebra [25], [27]. In terms of user interface, many aspects of the problem have been successfully addressed by different implementations: twodimensional editing of mathematical formulas is achieved in experimental systems such as MathScribe [38], GI/S [47], SUI [16], or CAS/PI [26], and in a limited number of commercial applications including MathCAD [33] and Theorist [10]; some kinds ofhypertextual access to the documentation is provided by the graphical user interfaces of both Mathematica [46] and Axiom [23]; quality curve
