| Summary : a programmable calculator for number theory applications
|
Description :
The PARI system is a package which is capable of doing formal
computations on recursive types at high speed. It is primarily aimed at
number theorists, but is useful to anyone whose primary need is speed.
This package contains a sophisticated programmable calculator, named
PARI GP, which also implements many features of high level languages,
(such as control, and looping constructs).
Although some symbolic manipulation is possible, PARI GP is inferior to
more sophisticated packages such as Axiom, Macsyma, Maple, Mathematica,
or Reduce on manipulations such as multivariate polynomials, formal
integration, etc. On the other hand, it has two significant advantages.
It\'s speed, (which can be from 5 to 100 times faster on many computations
than the above mentioned systems), and the ability to use data types
which are familiar to mathematicians.
