======================================================================= === WORKSHOP: The computer algebra system PARI/GP ===================== ======================================================================= A week-long workshop on computational number theory in the context of the Computer Algebra system PARI/GP will be held September 13 -- 17, 2004. The meeting will take place at the Centre Emile Borel of the Institute Henri Poincare as part of the trimester on "Explicit Methods in Number Theory" ( see http://www.ihp.jussieu.fr ). The goal of the workshop is to gather people developing the PARI/GP system, or related systems dedicated to arithmetic, and users of such systems. The workshop follows an introductory course, described below, which should provide a sufficient general acquaintance with the system. INVITED SPEAKERS: Bill Allombert, Karim Belabas (Orsay), Henri Cohen (Bordeaux), John Cremona (Nottingham), Herbert Gangl (MPIM Bonn), Guillaume Hanrot (INRIA Nancy), Xavier Roblot (Lyon), Denis Simon (Caen), Paul Zimmermann (INRIA Nancy). ACTIVITIES: =========== - Talks on advanced use of the system: library programming, the gp2c compiler, interfaces with other systems, plans for long term development... - Talks describing significant applications of PARI/GP to number theory, with focus on explicit algorithms and practical bottlenecks - Discussion sessions / problem sessions. FURTHER INFORMATION: Visit http://www.ihp.jussieu.fr/emnt_pari or email one of the organizers. ORGANISERS: Karim Belabas ( Karim.Belabas@math.u-psuf.fr ) Xavier-François Roblot ( roblot@desargues.univ-lyon1.fr ) =========================================================================== COURSE: INTRODUCTION TO PARI/GP (September 8th - 10th) Karim Belabas We shall present * basic concepts, general hints and tricks * the GP programming language (and the gp interpreter) * the number fields module Depending on the requirements of the participants further topics such as library programming or dynamic loading of library routines could be covered. Schedule: Wed 08/09: 10h-12h course (IHP, salle Darboux) : 14h-16h practice session (ENS, salle T) Thu 09/09: 10h-12h course (IHP, salle Darboux) : 14h-16h course (IHP, salle Darboux) Fri 10/09: 14h-16h practice session (ENS, salle T) Please send me a short note ( Karim.Belabas@math.u-psud.fr ) if you intend to come to the practice sessions. IHP: Institut Henri Poincare ENS: Ecole Normale Superieure, 45 rue d'Ulm. After crossing the gate at the ENS entrance, do not enter the building but turn right immediately, and follow the main building from the outside. At the end of the (long) alley, enter the math department, climb down the stairs (to level -1), leaving the math library to your right. Salle T is at the end of the (long) corridor to the left. ===========================================================================
