Abstract
Increasing power of computing devices shed a new light on the role of mathematical experiments. Constructive methods yield new insights into the nature of complicated problems. This paper describes the system CASA which implements basic principles of the classical algebraic geometry. It was created around the notion of the algebraic set and is currently supporting many operations on them while adhering to simplicity and efficiency.
