Hi all, flint is a library for support of computations in Number Theory, which includes highly optimised C routines for polynomial arithmetic and linear algebra over numerous rings (and some integer arithmetic, primality testing and factorisation). Flint is a component of Sage (http://sagemath.org/) and is soon to become a component of a number of other Open Source libraries. Please see http://flintlib.org/ for details.
We are pleased to announce that there will be a FLINT Workshop at Warwick University in Coventry, UK from May 4-12 (incl.). We have funds to support visiting researchers of "established standing", i.e. have a lectureship or equivalent or work in relevant industry which has an interest in the research, to visit and collaborate. Other participants are very welcome. We will be working on the following topics * LLL in flint * polynomial factorisation in flint * linear algebra in flint * ball arithmetic in arb (a new library by Fredrik Johansson based on flint) [1] * finite fields in flint * C++ wrapper for flint (similar to NTL interface [2]) * algebraic number theory in flint * integer factorisation in flint * using flint to compute symmetric Hilbert modular forms * Sage/flint interface, esp. Sage trac #14304 [3] * Flint/Singular interface [4] All of the main flint developers will be present, in addition to a number of individuals from related Open Source projects who have already expressed interest. There will be no talks scheduled, but plenty of time to collaborate and/or code. Please email me if you want to come, (whether we are able to fund you or not) or if you wish to suggest additional topics for collaboration. Best Wishes, Bill.
