Abstract: Well organized large systems tend to consist of a large number of small pieces of code each of which captures a single semantic unit. These pieces of code are strung together to form larger semantic phrases, which are in turn components of even larger phrases. The smallest semantic units in a polynomial manipulation system might be the routines that add and multiply the coefficients of the polynomials. These routines are combined (used as subroutines) to form the routines that add and multiply polynomials, which are components in the factoring and greatest common divisor routines.
