Abstract
The lecture gives an introduction to basic concepts of Computer algebra. In more detail, we will discuss the following topics:
- Integer and polynomial arithmetics, fast multiplication, gcd computations, complexity of algorithms.
- Systems of equations, Hermite- and Smith-normal form, p-adic approximation, lattices, LLL algorithm.
- Resultants and extended gcd computations.
- Multivariate polynomials, Gröbner bases for ideals and modules, modular methods, Faugère's F4 and F5 algorithm, syzygies, free resolutions.
- (Squarefree) Factorization, Hensel lifting, factorization with LLL, primality tests, factorization over algebraic number fields.
