various multiplications), transpositions and determinant
evaluation/inversion. There are operations on a single
row/col/diagonal of a matrix.

filling them out.

problems are solved with a branch-and-bound iteration over LP
solutions. It uses a lex+yacc parser to read a human-friendly
algebraic input format. The author has used the program to
solve LP problems up to about 30000 variables and 50000
constraints (on a 22 MFLOPS HP9000/750).

are implementations for sparse Gaussian elimination

accelerated by conjugate gradients or Orthomin(1)).
This package is particularly useful for solving
problems which arise from discretizing partial
differential equations, regardless of whether finite
differences, finite elements, or finite volumes are
used.

Description PARI/GP is a package which is aimed at efficient

number of functions unrelated to number theory. It is
somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is
not really one since it treats symbolic expressions as
mathematical entities such as polynomials, series,
matrices, etc..., and not as expressions per se. However
it is often much faster than other CAS, and contains a
huge number of specific functions not found elsewhere,
essentially for use in number theory. In particular,
and especially so in the present release, there is a
very large package for working in general algebraic
number fields.
Systems Binaries available for SPARC v7, v8, DEC Alpha, HP-PA.
In the future, Mac (68k and powerPC).

Language C

Description Piecewise finds a piecewise linear approximation to a
1D function. The program provides two methods to find
the approximating segments, both satisfying an L infinity
error norm and both SUB-OPTIMAL. The user specifies the
tabulated function values and an error bound and the program
returns the endpoints of the line segments that approximate the
function. The operation is fast (essentially a single pass
through the data) and works reasonably well on data with
low noise. If the noise level is too high an alternative
approach using smoothing splines should be used.
