[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00080.] The paper represents a good review on using computers in algebraic topology. The paper consists of a review devoted to the following problems: (1) Decidable and undecidable problems. The authors include the following: (a) the word problem; (b) the problem of homeomorphism between two compact combinatorial \(n\)-manifolds with \(n\geq 4\); (c) the Poincaré conjecture and others. (2) Tractable and intractable problems. (3) The calculation of invariants in algebraic topology using a computer. (4) Two general theories on computability in algebraic topology. (5) Perspectives in the application of computers to topology.
