In the 1950s, while computers were mainly used for numerical computations, there were some research projects into using them for symbolic manipulation. Computer algebra systems began to appear in the 1960s and evolved out of two quite different sources—the requirements of theoretical physicists and research into [[artificial intelligence]].
