This study aims to examine the use of Macaulay2 software in improving students' computational thinking skills in mathematics learning, especially in abstract algebra material. Macaulay2 as an open-source Computer Algebra Sistem (CAS) provides a symbolic and algorithmic environment that encourages logical and systematic exploration of mathematical concepts. Literature reviews show that the use of Macaulay2 can strengthen conceptual understanding, train computational thinking, and introduce mathematical programming to students. However, technical challenges, limited Indonesian language teaching materials, and limited educational infrastructure are obstacles that need to be overcome through collaboration between educational stakeholders.

Students’ understanding can be through various learning concepts. In this research, the author raises the title of studants’ understanding of programming algorithms. An algorithm is procedure that is arranged in writing and sequentially and when related to programming it means sequential procedures and a structure for creating a program. The method used I this research is literature study. The author collects data or reference sources regarding students’ understanding of programming algorithms. After collecting the data, the author will analyze the references that have been collected. Analysis of this literature study will be effective in increasing the author’s and reader’s understanding of programming algorithms
