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 is a dummy package which depends on
pari-galdata: the galois resolvants for the polgalois function.
pari-elldata: the elliptic curves database for the ellsearch function.
pari-seadata: the modular polynomials for the ellap function.
it can be safely removed after the upgrade.
