2: ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PARI-2.1 RELEASE
3:
4: This message is to announce the release of version 2.1 of the PARI/GP system.
5:
6: PARI / GP is a package which is aimed at efficient computations in number
7: theory, but also contains a large number of other useful functions. It is
8: somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is not really one since
9: it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such as matrices,
10: polynomials, series, etc..., and not as expressions per se. However it is
11: often much faster than other CAS, and contains a large number of specific
12: functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use in number theory.
13:
14: This package can be used in an interactive shell (GP) or as a C/C++ library
15: (PARI). It is free software, in the sense of freedom AND 'free of charge'.
