NTL is a high-performance, portable C++ library providing data structures and algorithms for arbitrary length integers; for vectors, matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields; and for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic.

NTL provides high quality implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms for:

• arbitrary length integer arithmetic and arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic;
• polynomial arithmetic over the integers and finite fields including basic arithmetic, polynomial factorization, irreducibility testing, computation of minimal polynomials, traces, norms, and more;
• lattice basis reduction, including very robust and fast implementations of Schnorr-Euchner, block Korkin-Zolotarev reduction, and the new Schnorr-Horner pruning heuristic for block Korkin-Zolotarev;
• basic linear algebra over the integers, finite fields, and arbitrary precision floating point numbers.
