There is a package in MathSource (which I haven't used), with functiosn to solve linear diophantine equations. http://www.mathsource.com/Content/WhatsNew/0207-751 .... Several other functions are defined: computation of left and right GCD's, lcm's, quotients, remainders, row/column proper forms, full rank and coprimality tests, extended polynomial GCD, solution of diophantine equations. All functions work on matrices of polynomials in z or z^-1. Also, Bill McClung from Nebraska Wesleyan University used to have a series of notebooks for a number theory course, which included a Euclidean algorithm (diophanGCD) for linear diophantine equations. I seem to have misplaced the web site. Sorry. A.S. Matt wrote in message <85cmvh$lh3 at smc.vnet.net>... >How can I solve Diophantine equations in Mathematica?
