 This paper is concerned with the application of an algebraic language (known as Mathematica[1]) to control engineering algorithmic problems. Several problems of significant interest to control engineers are considered. Two methods of computing the Smith-McMillan form are presented, and two approaches to the creation of minimal state-space realizations are considered. Balanced minimal realizations, model-order reduction, and minimal order matrix-fraction models are also examined. The algorithms implemented are all illustrated by examples.
