Abstract: The computer simulations of stellar systems and the computer algebra for implementation of analytical algorithms of celestial mechanics are important applications of computer technology to Dynamical Astronomy.The PP, PM, ad P3M methods of N-body simulation and the specialized computer algebra systems for manipulations of Poisson series are described briefly.

Key words: N-body simulation, computer algebra, dynamical astronomy
