KANT

Description

KANT consists of a C--library of thousands of functions for doing arithmetic in number fields, function fields, and local fields. Of course, the necessary auxiliaries from linear algebra over rings, especially lattices, are also included. The set of these functions is based on the computer algebra system MAGMA from which we adopt our storage management, arithmetic for (long) integers and arbitrary precision floating point numbers, arithmetic for finite fields, polynomial arithmetic and a variety of other tools. Essentially, all of the public domain part of MAGMA is contained in KANT. In return, almost all KANT routines are included in MAGMA.
