Program PARI/GP

PARI/GP, a program for solving various mathematical problems, such as

finding roots of a polynomial with rational coefficients (over C or Q_p),
calculating the Galois group of (the minimal splitting field of) an irreducible polynomial,
calculations on elliptic curves (adding points, finding the torsion subgroup etc.),
and many others

is now available on mccme.ru.

To run PARI/GP, use the command gp (you should be logged in at mccme.ru). You will see a command prompt beginning with a question mark; you can issue any PARI/GP command in the command line. E.g., if you input a question mark (one more), you will see a brief list of topics for which you can get help. If you input two question marks, you will see the file /usr/local/lib/pari/doc/users.dvi, which is a very detailed (more than 200 pages) manual; note that it is impossible to read it from the console: you need some window manager to do it.

Feel free to send questions and comments concerning this program to Volodya Dotsenko <dotsenko (at) mccme.ru>.
