I made a wiki page, which is mostly a copy of last years page, here: http://wiki.sympy.org/wiki/GSoC2010Ideas . I'll try to clean it up a bit.
Any polynomial algorithm will require a good understanding of abstract algebra. Actually, I think most computer algebra algorithms, like the Risch algorithm, have their theoretical roots in abstract algebra. There are also algorithms for pure abstract algebra, like manipulating groups (see the GAP project). But I am not highly familiar with them, so I am hoping Mateusz or someone else will be able to advise me.
