Atelier Pari-GP 2024
From January 8, 2024 to January 12, 2024
The Ateliers PARI/GP are periodic workshops about the PARI/GP software. Anybody interested in helping out or learning more about the system is welcome.
PARI/GP is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves...), but also contains a large number of other useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, etc., and a lot of transcendental functions.
PARI is a C library (C++ - compatible). Writing C (or C++) programs, and linking them to libpari is the only way to access the full set of PARI routines (you can install most of them under gp, but this is not as portable). It will produce much faster code for low-level applications.
gp is an interactive shell giving access to PARI functions, easier to use. Low-level scripts are typically 4 times slower than directly written C code. High-level scripts, whose running time is dominated by a few calls to PARI functions, incur no penalty.
GP is the name of gp's scripting language.
