Editing Magma (computer algebra system) (section)

== Introduction ==
Magma is produced and distributed by the [http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/CayMagCAG/CayMagCAG.html Computational Algebra Group] within the [[University of Sydney School of Mathematics and Statistics|Sydney School of Mathematics and Statistics]] at the [[University of Sydney]].

In late 2006, the book [https://www.springer.com/math/cse/book/978-3-540-37632-3 Discovering Mathematics with Magma] was published by [[Springer Science+Business Media|Springer]] as volume 19 of the Algorithms and Computations in Mathematics series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/dmwm/|title=Discovering Mathematics with Magma}}</ref>

The Magma system is used extensively within pure mathematics. The Computational Algebra Group maintain a list of publications that cite Magma, and as of 2010 there are about 2600 citations, mostly in pure mathematics, but also including papers from areas as diverse as economics and geophysics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/citations/|title=Published Research Citing Magma}}</ref>
