Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install pari-elldata on Kali Linux.

What is pari-elldata

pari-elldata is:

PARI/GP is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves…), but also contains a large number of other useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, etc., and a lot of transcendental functions. PARI is also available as a C library to allow for faster computations.

Originally developed by Henri Cohen and his co-workers (University Bordeaux I, France), PARI is now under the GPL and maintained by Karim Belabas with the help of many volunteer contributors.

This package contains the optional PARI package elldata which provides the Elliptic Curve Database of J. E. Cremona Elliptic which can be queried by ellsearch and ellidentify.
