Algebra and Number Theory: New in Wolfram Language 11

Algebra and Number Theory

Version 11 extends support in algebra and number theory with several small but useful functions. Enhancements include enumeration of new classes of natural integers, manipulation of number digits, representation of complex numbers, coordinate conversions, matrix operations, combinatorial optimization, and parametrized enumeration of points, vectors, and paths.

Enumeration of all currently known Mersenne primes, Mersenne prime exponents, and perfect numbers. »
New functionality for number decompositions and mixed radix computations. »
Dedicated support for coordinate conversions to and from polar or spherical coordinates. »

Specify points on a circle, vectors by angles, and "turtle" paths by angles and step sizes. »
Support for permanent and Smith decomposition. »
Dedicated knapsack combinatorial optimization function. »
