I think it would be worthwhile to consider using youtube to document variou=
s
algorithms in computer algebra. This was an idea I pursued for a bit as I
spent time adding URLs of research papers into the source code for various
algorithms. I never got around to the youtube searches.

However, a useful example is primality testing using Fermat and
Miller-Rabin tests:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DtBzaMfV94uA
Indeed, I don't think Axiom implements the AKS primality test.

A simple URL link to a video would help "document" the algorithms.
This would be especially useful if videos explained the Risch algorithm
and various implementation algorithms.

Perhaps existing links could, at minimum, be added to the Wikipedia page
rather than modifying the source code with URLs as I did.
