I ran into this site maybe a year ago, but lost the link. It is a collection of materials from a class on Computer Algebra that Fateman taught at UCB. I looked through the additional material, but not yet the powerpoint presentations that make up the course– judging from the quality of those, the syllabus, and Fateman’s reputation as one of the prominent figures in CA, this material should provide a good foundation in CA.
