Abstract
A combination of program algebra with the theory of meadows is designed leading to a theory of computation in algebraic structures which use in addition to a zero test and copying instructions the instruction set . It is proven that total functions on cancellation meadows can be computed by straight-line programs using at most 5 auxiliary variables. A similar result is obtained for signed meadows.
