flint: Fast Library for Number Theory
An R interface to 'FLINT' <https://flintlib.org/>, a C library for
number theory. 'FLINT' extends GNU 'MPFR' <https://www.mpfr.org/>
and GNU 'MP' <https://gmplib.org/> with support for operations on
standard rings (the integers, the integers modulo n, finite
fields, the rational, p-adic, real, and complex numbers) as well
as matrices and polynomials over rings. 'FLINT' implements
midpoint-radius interval arithmetic, also known as ball
arithmetic, in the real and complex numbers, enabling computation
in arbitrary precision with rigorous propagation of rounding and
other errors; see Johansson (2017) <doi:10.1109/TC.2017.2690633>.
Finally, 'FLINT' provides ball arithmetic implementations of many
special mathematical functions, with high coverage of reference
works such as the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions
<https://dlmf.nist.gov/>. The R interface defines S4 classes,
generic functions, and methods for representation and basic
operations as well as plain R functions mirroring and vectorizing
entry points in the C library.
