Seen on the net: Pari talk by Carl Hansen Monday, June 10 from 7:30 pm to 9 pm BMUG, 2055 Center Street, Berkeley Carl will give an introductory talk on Pari, software that supports arbitrary precision arithmetic and includes many function for doing number theory. He will compare it to other math software and show the special features of this program, including how Pari can be used as a cryptographers workbench. This presentation will be at the BMUG office at 2055 Center Street in Berkeley. The office is near the north west corner of Center Street and Shattuck Ave. which is half a block from the Berkeley BART station. Driving directions: Take the University exit off 80. Head east on University toward the UC Berkeley campus. Turn right at Shattuck (McDonalds will be at the corner.) Go 2 blocks. Turn right on Center and look for parking. I recommend the parking garage on the left, as the one on the right may close at 8 pm.
