Abstract: AlgebraStructures is an object-oriented package for building complex algebraic structures and computing with their elements. It currently offers INTs, BigRats, REALs, and Complex Numbers as built-in ground types, and generic polynomial, matrix, and extension field constructors. For example, one can quickly read in and do simple arithmetic on matrices of polynomials with complex number coefficients, or matrices of such matrices, ad infinitum. The polynomial constructor implements multivariate polynomials. The matrix constructor implements square matrices. The extension field constructor implements real and general algebraic number fields.
