Constructive algebra can be seen as an abstract version of computer algebra. In computer algebra, on the one hand, one attempts to construct efficient algorithms for solving concrete problems given in an algebraic formulation, where a problem is understood to be concrete if its hypotheses and conclusion have computational content. Constructive algebra, on the other hand, can be understood as a “preprocessing” step for computer algebra that leads to general algorithms, even if they are sometimes not efficient. In constructive algebra, one tries to give general algorithms for solving “virtually any” theorem of abstract algebra.
