FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory)

Overview

FLINT is a C library in support of computations in number theory. It's also a research project into algorithms in number theory. FLINT consists mainly of fast scalar and polynomial arithmetic, factorization and linear algebra over many basic rings (integers, rationals, reals, finite fields, number fields, p-adics). It includes some higher-level functionality for algebraic and analytic number theory.

FLINT 2.0, released in 2011 was a complete rewrite of FLINT 1.x from scratch. FLINT 3, currently in development, incorporates the Arb, Antic, Calcium and Generic-Rings libraries, formerly developed separately.
