Path: shlump.nac.dec.com!decuac!haven!uflorida!uakari.primate.wisc.edu!\ aplcen!uunet!mcsun!inria!geocub!deletage From: [email protected] (Viviane Deletage) Newsgroups: sci.math Subject: PARI: A package for number theory and simple numerical analysis Summary: Announcing PARI 1.31, a powerful and fast number theory package Keywords: Number theory package. Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: 28 Feb 90 15:06:36 GMT Reply-To: [email protected] (Henri Cohen) Organization: Univ. Bordeaux I, France Lines: 51 [before I reformatted it...lines were too long -- Dan] This is to announce that version 1.31 of the PARI system for number theory is available for anonymous ftp at mizar.greco-prog.fr (192.33.148.32) directory pub. Pari is a system capable of handling complex number-theoretic and algebraic types with complete recursivity. The predefined types are integers (up to 300000 decimal digits), reals (same for the relative precision), elements of Z/nZ, rational numbers, complex numbers, p-adic numbers, quadratic numbers, polynomials, power series, algebraic extensions, rational functions, binary quadratic forms, vectors, matrices. Everything is recursive, so you can have matrices of polynomials with coefficients in an algebraic extension of Z/pZ for example. More than 200 special predefined functions, arithmetic or transcendental, are implemented, in addition to the usual arithmetic operations, which can be used without paying attention to the type of the object. The source uses more than 32000 lines of code, mainly in C. Pari can be used as a library, but possesses also a powerful calculator mode which gives instant access to all the types and functions. In this mode, one can write programs with a simple syntax a little similar to C, but taking also LISP-like constructs. Pari is NOT a symbolic manipulation package, in that all expressions are immediately expanded. For example, (x+y)^2 does give x^2+2xy+y^2, but sin(x) gives you the taylor series expansion around x=0 (to any number of terms specified by the user), and is not kept in the machine as an abstract object. It does NOT know about symbolic integration (except of course for polynomials or power series), but it does implement a number of numerical integration routines. The main advantage of Pari is its speed. On a SUN 3/xxx, it is between 5 to 100 times faster than Maple or Mathematica, depending on the applications. Also it is specially tailored for use by number theorists, hence contains a large number of predefined number-theoretical functions not found in other systems. It can of course profitably be used by other people as well. Finally, it is free. Currently, Pari has been tested on SUN 3/xxx, SUN 4/xxx (hence SPARCstations), and Macintoshes with a 68020/68030 processor. A version exists which could run on other machines as well, but this has not been tested. In the ftp directory, you will find the complete source and a 77 page manual with an extensive index in the file pari-1.31.tar.Z. The manual alone (to get a feel of what Pari is capable of doing) is in TeX, and is in man.tar.Z. The executable for SUN 3's is gp.Z, for SUN 4's is gpsparc.Z. To get the MacII or Mac SE/30 version, send an email message to [email protected] Please read carefully the README and INSTALLATION files. We would very much appreciate user feedback. Please understand that it is not a polished commercial product. Enjoy! Henri Cohen [email protected]

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: 10 May 90 13:26:18 GMT Reply-To: [email protected] (Viviane Deletage) Organization: Greco-Programmation, Bordeaux, France. Lines: 70 This is to announce that version 1.32.1 of the PARI system for number theory is available for anonymous ftp. In Europe, from seti.inria.fr (128.93.1.12), and in the rest of the world from math.ucla.edu (128.97.12.3), in the directory pub/pari. The preceding version 1.31 had been announced earlier, but it was impossible to ftp it from North America. This is now corrected thanks to the UCLA math department, and in particular David Cantor. In addition, version 1.32.1 contains a great number of bug fixes (essentially for the non 680x0 versions, see below), and enhancements, like an elliptic curve package. Pari is a system capable of handling complex number-theoretic and algebraic types with complete recursivity.

More than 200 special predefined functions, arithmetic or transcendental, are implemented, in addition to the usual arithmetic operations, which can be used without paying attention to the type of the object.

I'm in the process of obtaining a copy. The problem is that our gateway does not allow general access to the outside world for security reasons, mail and newsgroups excepted. So when things like this come up, usually someone has a friend somewhere mail the uucoded shell archive files to a person at DEC who can then put the files in a public place. That's how we get things like gnu sources, raytracing packages, etc... (anonymous ftp is file transfer protocol that allows world read) - Jim | |||||

Re .4: There is an FTP mail server at Princeton. You send it mail messages, it does the FTP and mails you the results. Large files are sent in multiple parts, and binary files are sent in encoded form. (I have a decoder for UUENCODE.) To get started, send mail to DECWRL::"[email protected]". Send a message with HELP in the text. I have a command procedure that formats and sends the mail, takes the return messages out of your mail file, extracts the parts into files, removes the mail headers, and concatenates all the parts. However, it is a hack that relies on the precise subject lines that the Princeton server generates, and they changed them recently; I need to rework it a bit before it is ready for general use. -- edp | |||||

1199.9 | Ask DECWRL. | CADSYS::COOPER | Topher Cooper | Fri Oct 26 1990 10:59 | 10 |
The preferred way to import things like this is to request that the folk at DECWRL put it on their "public" directory so that anyone who wants to can just do a "copy". Something of this size is likely to overload the mail system which is set up to handle small to moderate size files, so FTPing large programs through the Princeton FTP-to-mail system is a no-no. I'll post details in the next reply. Topher | |||||
1199.11 | Too quickly written, means quickly corrected. | CADSYS::COOPER | Topher Cooper | Fri Oct 26 1990 11:09 | 13 |
I just reread my .9 and realized that I didn't say what I meant to say there. It is true that big files should not be mailed but, as has already been pointed out, the princeton FTP-to-mail gateway breaks them into lots of small mail messages (unlike some of the NETSERVE servers which interface BITNET archives to internet). However, that replaces one problem with another: instead of a few large mail messages you have dozens or even hundreds of medium sized ones competing with "real" mail for the gateway. I would recommend this only in the case that DECWRL declined to place PARI in its public directory, and then I would use a batch queue to send out the request in the evening or the early morning (in either case for both Eastern and Pacific time zones).

From: [email protected] (Brian Reid) Newsgroups: dec.ip Subject: Re: Internet access Date: 26 Mar 90 06:26:45 GMT References: <[email protected]> Organization: DEC Western Research Lines: 60 All "external" access in Digital is regulated by the External Access Review Committee, EXARC. The contact for EXARC is Chuck Noble at VRO. For your site to have any form of external access you must have a license from EXARC. Internet access is one form of external access (others are X.400, X.25, UUCP, offsite machines, etc). Digital is in the process of revising its Internet external access policy. As a result, the current policy is likely to be only of academic interest to anyone who does not currently have external access. I cannot give you any information about the nature of the revisions, because there are so many factors involved and so many people involved. Suffice it to say that we are trying to find ways to give access to more people without endangering more of the company's computers. The current policy grants external Internet access to certain machines. That access is granted by means of a packet screen at the gateway permitting the exchange of IP packets between those machines and the outside world. I am aware of 5 machines that have external access permission, though I am hoping to see major changes in the configurations of those machines if their access is to be continued. You, as an individual, can get external access by getting an account on an external access machine. At the moment, such accounts are available only to people whose personnel records are located in the same personnel office as the management of the external access machine; this is to enable a mechanism of notification when an employee terminates. If we granted you an account on one of the external access machines in Palo Alto and then you left Digital to go work for a competitor, we would not be notified of this departure because the exit procedure does not include any "notify Palo Alto" clause. In fact, it is my understanding that Massachusetts law prohibits any such notification. Under extraordinary circumstances, where there is an urgent business need, external access accounts have been granted to people who do not meet the "local records" criterion. To give you a sense of what "extraordinary" means here, Roger Heinen was turned down in his request for such an account. (Maybe that's why he left the company?) Most people want external access for one of two reasons: to make terminal connections to or from a university, or to run "ftp" to copy files, either personal files (typically from a university) or public files (typically from a major archive like simtel or uunet). For the moment we can't help you if you want Internet access for remote terminal access. The best we can do is to provide 2-way electronic mail service. However, if what you want is file transfer from a public archive, you can send mail to [email protected] (that's decwrl::gatekeepers to you DECNET droids) asking us to add something to the list of things in decwrl::"/pub". We keep an amazing amount of stuff in decwrl::"/pub", and every time anybody FTP's anything interesting in from the outside, we add it to that archive. A lot of what you want can be found there. By the way: virtually none of Digital's Internet networking folks, who would be able to answer questions like this, read notes files. We all read netnews, though. Questions like this are likely to be answered much faster if you ask them in the right forum. Brian Reid Western Research Laboratory and Network Systems Laboratory Palo Alto | |||||

People at the University of Paderborn in Germany have built a very interesting maths package with a graphical user interface based on PARI. The online documentation (actual books, not only help) is good. Unfortunately (for me) the reference manual is in german. There is enough documentation in english to get started and use it. Supported platforms are: - Many U*x platforms including: PC/Linux, PC/FreeBSD, MIPS/Ultrix. - Macintosh w/ and w/o FPU. The no-FPU version runs on PowerPC too. - The PC/Windows version is in demo phase at the moment. The licence is free and unlimited for non-commercial usages. The package is available on physical media or electronically via ftp. For all information see their WWW page at: http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~cube/ | |||||

Online documentation (Reference manual and help pages) in English. Note, that the reference manual is a first draft version. Hypertext previewer is now able to manage more than one document and is able to display GIF pictures. No external GIF previewer is needed. Now you can use wildcards in the help command, for example ? plot* or ? plot?? For latest informations and demos refer via WWW to http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~cube/RELEASE_122/ You can get MuPAD 1.2.2 from ftp.uni-paderborn.de. Other ftp server will update MuPAD next week. Please read the file README to check if MuPAD 1.2.2 is already installed on this server. The next section gives an short overview of all new functions. See on-line help for detailed informations, for example ?stats::stdev, ?series, ?numlib::proveprime, ?plotlib::fieldplot. Type loadlib("<name">): info(<name>); to get all functions of the specified package, where <name> is one of the following packages: combinat, domains, groebner, intlib, linalg, misc, module, numlib, ode, orthpoly, plotlib, RGB, sharelib, stats and Type.

Numerical integration --------------------- Numerical integration is invoked by applying float to the unevaluated integral as in int(f(x),x=a..b); float(%); or directly by calling float(int(f(x),x=a..b)). Only finite inter- vals can be handled by now, e.g. this implementation doesn't accept the values infinity or -infinity for a and/or b. f must be continuous in [a, b], e.g. there are no endpoint singularities and no discontinuity in the interior of the interval of integra- tion. Otherwise the numerical integration returns the unevaluated integral. New platforms ============= * Hewlett-Packard 9000/700, HP-UX 9.0 or later * PC, NetBSD 1.0 or later Alpha releases (not available by now): * PC, MS-Windows 3.1 or later * PC, Linux-ELF * Motif version for Sun 4 Comparisons/Reviews =================== Paul Zimmermann, a researcher from INRIA, has written a paper "Wester's Test Suite in MuPAD 1.2.2" based on Michael Wester's paper "A Review of CAS mathematical Capabilities". Paul describes the problems that can be solved with MuPAD, whereas the original paper describes the capabilities of Axiom, Derive, Macsyma, Maple, Mathematica and Reduce to solve these problems. * Paul Zimmermann: Wester's test suite in MuPAD 1.2.2, 1995 Can be found on http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~cube/RELEASE_122/WESTER/wester.html or in the April issue of the CAN Nieuwsbrief 14, 1995. * Michael Wester: A Review of CAS Mathematical Capabilities, 1994 Can be found on ftp://math.unm.edu/pub/cas/ Frank Postel has written a paper "c't magazine test suite" based on Braun's article "Das Ende des Bleistifts". * Frank Postel: c't magazine test suite with MuPAD 1.2.2, 1995 Can be found on http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~cube/RELEASE_122/CT-TEST/CT_test.html * Stefan Braun, Harald Haeuser: Das Ende des Bleistifts, c't, issue 7, July 1995.
