I've installed PARI/GP on Athena for Sun and Linux. This is a computer
algebra system designed for fast computation in number theory
(factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves...). It also
contains a large variety of utility functions for computing with
matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic functions etc.. and
standard numeric functions. It supports graphics output and can be
linked as a C library (PARI). The interactive shell (gp) supports an
embedded scripting language (GP).
gp2c is an add-on for translating GP routines into C code that can be
compiled and used within the PARI system or the gp calculator.
To run it:
add pari-gp
gp (to run interactive calculator)
gp2c-run <options> file.gp (to compile/run code in file.gp)
For other usage modes and additional information please read the
README.athena file at the top level of the pari-gp locker. pdf
manuals are at http://web.mit.edu/pari-gp_v2.3.1/pdfdoc.
