I had an interesting discussion with a finance professor from
the Univ. of Pittsburgh. We were discussing the issue of
funding open source software.
The suggestion came up of approaching sourceforge or their
parent company to set up an organization to handle money.
The funding would not cover pa

Portage is just editable text files too. I do not have any experience
with Debian so it may also do the following things I describe be

I'm not sure whom you are aiming at with this description, but I think there
should be some emphasis on the natural sciences too.
I think the description should be something like "CAS *AND* system for
computational sciences", but I'm not sure about how to make it sound good.

possibly, but let's talk first about what you are really interested in
doing, then talk format. Arrays aren't necessarily the solution. Pmesh
is not what you want for simple planes and objects -- that is for
complex mathematical descriptions of surfaces. Using specific colorings
and shadings

The phrase "scientific computing" is often interpreted in a fairly
narrow sense, so I think "Mathematics Computing Environment" is
better. Even that sounds too limited to me, although I am not sure
what else to suggest. "Comprehensive Computing Environment"
perhaps?

Thanks for the explanation. Perhaps we need to change the
implementation to be more like what Magma does, namely it gives either
2 O_K-generators or a Z_K-basis by default, but if you ever ask if an
ideal is principal then it works that out and stores the result, with
the generator if principal s
Actually, even that is not correct. It creates the ideal objects in no
time. It seems that it is when it comes to display them that it wants
to determine if they are principal, presumably so it can display them
with as simple a representation as possible.

What is happening is that at a certain point it is checking to see if
ideals are principal. That requires bnfisprincipal and hence bnfinit
which requires computation of the unit and class group.
Essentially the way it is implemented is that it expresses the ideal
in hermite normal form. Then it f
But pari provides two number field structures (see page 117 of the
pari manual), nf and bnf. nfinit() creates a number field with more
"elementary" capabilities, including the ring of integers and prime
decompositions. bnfinit() works a lot harder and gives the class and
unit groups.
Hence it
