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 seadata which provides the modular polynomials for prime level up to 500 needed by the GP function ellap.
