Computer algebra systems like Axiom implement a very large number of [mathematical algorithms]?. By that we mean:

mathematical

adj.

  1. Of or relating to mathematics.
  2. Meaning

    a Precise; exact. b Absolute; certain.

Subject: [Axiom-developer]? Mathematics Subject Classification

There is a mathematics subject classification scheme list at

http://www.ams.org/msc

and it appears to be used at

http://www.math-atlas.org

An interesting project would be to classify Axiom's math algorithms relative to this scheme.
