My main area of research is computer algebra which is also called symbolic computation. I am interested in computing with polynomials over the integers, number fields, finite fields, and algebraic function fields. The main operations are multiplication, division, interpolation, GCD, resultant, and factorization. This research includes the design and implementation of probabilistic and parallel algorithms and data structures. I am also interested in the design of computer algebra systems and programming languages for implementing those algorithms. I have participated in the design and development of the Maple computer algebra system since 1983. Recently I led a group of students and faculty at SFU to develop the GraphTheory package for Maple.
I am directing our Computational Algebra Group (CAG) and the centre for experimental and constructive mathematics (CECM).
