Bordeaux University / Mathematics

Note: Documents can differ from the ones handed in class (format change, typos). LaTeX style files [kb.sty | kbexo.sty] are needed to compile the TeX files (UTF-8 encoded).

The lectures take place on Thursdays 10am-12am and 2pm-4pm (Lamartine, salle de l'École).
First lecture on Thursday Sep. 10th.
We will be using the PARI/GP system. Here are the reference card and the GP User's guide.
