nzmath 3.0.1

Introduction

NZMATH is a Python calculator on number theory. It started development at Nakamula laboratory, Tokyo Metropolitan University. Today it is developed at SourceForge.net . Download the file NZMATH-3.0.1.tar.gz for installation from the SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/nzmath/files/nzmath/ . Test programs for NZMATH is available as NZMATH-test-3.0.1.tar.gz at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nzmath/files/nzmath-test/ .

This version 3.0.1 contains several program corrections/additions by the “notebook” of the book ‘Elementary Number Theory’ (TAKAGI, Teiji) in Python-NZMATH language. On the other hand, the “notebook” itself is available as an archive NZMATH-enttakagi-0.0.1.tar.gz at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nzmath/files/nzmath-enttakagi/ . The “notebook” is designed for beginning students on algorithmic number theory to self-study Number Theory, Programming and English together.

Installation

To install NZMATH on your computer, you must have Python 3.8 or later. If you don’t have a copy of Python, please install it first. Python is available from https://www.python.org/ .

The next step is to expand the NZMATH-3.0.1.tar.gz. The way to do it depends on your operating system. On the systems with recent GNU tar, you can do it with a single command:

% tar xf NZMATH-3.0.1.tar.gz

Here % is the command line prompt. Or with standard tar, you can do it as:

% gzip -cd NZMATH-3.0.1.tar.gz | tar xf -

Then, you have a child directory named NZMATH-3.0.1 .

The third step is the last step, to install NZMATH to the standard python path. Usually, this means to write files to somewhere under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib , and thus you have to have appropriate write permission. Typically, do as the following:

% cd NZMATH-3.0.1
% su
# python setup.py install

Depending on system, you may get SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning. Please do not worry for the moment. Installed NZMATH works well.

Usage

NZMATH is provided as a Python library package named ‘nzmath’, so please use it as a usual package. For more information please refer Tutorial.
