+ PARI is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast
+ computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number
+ theory, elliptic curves...), but also contains a large number of other
+ useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as
+ matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, etc., and a
+ lot of transcendental functions.
+ The extra data is avaialable through use flag:
+ * elldata is PARI/GP version of J. E. Cremona Elliptic Curve Data,
+ needed by ellsearch and ellidentify.
+ * galdata is needed by polgalois to compute Galois group in degrees
+ 8 through 11.
+ * seadata is needed by ellap for large primes.
+ * nftables is a repackaging of the historical megrez number field
+tables (errors fixed, 1/10th the size, easier to use).
