1 NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data
2 structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors,
3 matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields;
4 and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic.
6 NTL provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms for:
8 o arbitrary length integer arithmetic and arbitrary precision
9 floating point arithmetic;
10 o polynomial arithmetic over the integers and finite fields
11 including basic arithmetic, polynomial factorization,
12 irreducibility testing, computation of minimal polynomials,
13 traces, norms, and more;
14 o lattice basis reduction, including very robust and fast
15 implementations of Schnorr-Euchner, block Korkin-Zolotarev
16 reduction, and the new Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic for block
18 o basic linear algebra over the integers, finite fields, and
19 arbitrary precision floating point numbers.
