Actually I suppose that good *intuition* for computational algebra and *creativity* in speeding up algorithms are the most important requirements. The subject is interesting as due to the high complexity you can not only gain speedup like 2 or 3 but often in much larger magnitudes e.g. 1000 or more. You can enhance the effect by speeding calculations on several layers: - Modelling the equations, - computational algebra parameters like monomial ordering, - algorithmic parameters/strategies - different data structures: we combine ZDDs and dense matrix computations - lowlevel programming on ZDDs, many highlevel operations in algebra can very *elegantly* formulated as ZDD operations. This is very powerful and very beautiful. We have used these techniques in several application domains.
