Description
NOTE: Change of Venue!
We're going to change things up this month and will be hosting our first meeting of the year downtown. Join us at the Portland Incubator Experiment (PIE) office, located at 12th and NW Davis.
Dana Jacobsen will give a talk on his number theory module. This is an early version of the talk for FOSDEM.
This talk describes the history, design, and implementation details of a number theory module for Perl. With implementations for most functions in C, C+GMP, and Perl this offers speed on most platforms as well as portability. Comparisons will be made with tools such as Pari/GP, SymPy, SAGE, Primo, OpenPFGW, and others.
We'll migrate to Life of Riley or another nearby venue after the meeting for drinks and food.
