We consider the problem of determining the symmetric tensor rank for
symmetric tensors with an algebraic geometry approach. We give algorithms for
computing the symmetric rank for $2\times ... \times 2$ tensors and for tensors
of small border rank. From a geometric point of view, we describe the symmetric
rank strata for some secant varieties of Veronese varieties.
