mathematical Python classes: finite fields, rationals, quaternions, matrices, polynomials, graphs, bitstrings

msmath package

mathematical Python classes

Classes to implement finite fields (ffield.py), Z_m finite rings (fring.py), rationals: real, complex, quaternion (rational.py), quaternions (quaternion.py), binary matrices and matrices over any ring (matrix.py), and single-variable polynomials and rational functions with coefficients in any field (poly.py).

Also, a class to implement undirected graphs (graph.py), and a class to implement bitstrings (bitstrings.py).

Support modules: conversions.py: utilities for Python 2 and 3 compatibility numfuns.py: assorted numerical functions ffpoly.py: functions to enumerate irreducible polynomials mod p

Demonstration modules: bch.py: create BCH codes using the classes share.py: secret sharing using finite fields optable.py: create a printable op table for a finite ring

Standalone test programs for the various classes are included: test_bitstring.py tests bitstring classes. test_ffield.py primarily tests ffield.py, but also uses matrix.py and poly.py test_matrix.py primarily tests matrix.py, but also uses poly.py and rational.py test_poly.py primarily tests poly.py, but also uses ffield.py and rational.py test_rational.py tests rational classes.
