Hi all,

I'm trying to properly attribute sage in my master's thesis, and I
need to know what components (pari, etc) or which authors I need to
cite given that I used the following:

1. I used

E=EllipticCurve([-2,5])
E.gens()

for one explicit calculation.

2. I used  (where f is a polynomial)

L.<c> = NumberField(f)
C = L.class_group()
U=L.unit_group()
O=L.maximal_order()
O.basis()

extensively.

I found how to cite sage on the sagemath website, but if, for example,
I really used Pari a lot, then I'd like to cite it as well.  If anyone
knows how I can find out who wrote the above commands, I'd like to
acknowledge them too.  For example, perhaps EllipticCurve() uses John
Cremona's tables (for a limited number of curves, of course).  I know
the articles in the documentation list authors, but that doesn't mean
they wrote the code.

I don't actually give any of my sage code in the thesis (since it's
not cohesive, just a few functions to do some computations), if that's
relevant.

Thanks,
Zach
