Replying to [comment:4 drkirkby]:

Maxima etc are software packages, not algorithms. They implement many
differerent algorithms.

never have suggested that Fricas was an algorithm.

+1 for `use`, `software` or `library`
Moreover, in some situation, when we call the software (fricas, maxima,
...) we might want to feed it with an option `algorithm`.
