All of the algebraic stuff is written in Lisp. C/C++ libraries can be
linked in via a foreign function interface, but there are technical and
nontechnical problems with that. There is already some code to handle
polynomials and Groebner bases; not sure what you have in mind so I
don't know if what you want is already present. There isn't anything to
handle elliptic or other algebraic curves.
Working on fixing bugs is a good start. Also maybe you can be more
specific about the algebraic stuff you want to work on.
