English

• The PARI/GP entry in the Rosetta code wiki.

• Dictionaries between PARI/GP and the algorithms in Henri Cohen's first two books GTM138 and GTM193 (for efficiency's sake the implementations may not follow the text's description or implement superior variants).

• Sample GP scripts from the documentation, as seen from within the Vim editor: [README]

  These scripts are HTML-ified and provided for online browsing only. You may copy-paste them into GP, but downloading them is unlikely to be useful.
