PARI/GP
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.
It is somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is
not really
one since it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such
as matrices, polynomials, series, etc., and not as expressions per se.
However it is often much faster than other CAS, and contains a large
number of specific functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use
in number theory.
PARI is also available as a C library to allow for faster
computations.
