The paper cited below is perhaps useful for particle physics students, but
as an introduction to language aspects, it is not really authoritative.
For example, it repeatedly refers to Lisp as an interpreted language.
As most people reading this mailing list know, Maxima is written in Lisp,
but the Lisp is COMPILED. ( Mathematica is written in some C-like language,
but apparently it uses in some essential ways, INTERPRETATION.)

Subject: Computer algebra system?
Hello,
I'm interested about how one can build a simple symbolic mathematic systems
on a computer. I thought I would ask on here, hopefully some of you can
point me to ressources or help me find out where to start. I'd just like to
learn how to build something basic, such as polynomial manipulation, to
begin.
Thanks a lot.
