In this talk I give an introduction to geometric, formal and algebraic
algorithms for nonlinear PDE.  There will be some discussion of the tremendous
recent progress in this area.  Applications to constrained differential
systems, and symmetries of PDE will also be discussed.  There will be graphics
and computer demonstrations.
