I am not sure current SAT solver is good at solving things that a good CAS can do. It is fast at a lot of operations related to bits (xor, shift, and, or ...) but it performs way worse for things like solving a linear system in a finite field. (This is all from my personal experiences, so I may be wrong.)

> linear system in a finite field

I said it below, but I'll repeat it here: in my humble opinion, this is not what you want from a CAS. This is functionality better delegated to a BLAS (yes even with the finite field qualifier). And just because both CAS and BLAS have A in them, does not mean they are the same thing.
