Overview
Getting started
Short tutorials for new users: a first program with integers and polynomials and how to compile and run it, a program that combines integer matrices, modular arithmetic and the Chinese remainder theorem, and a guide to the example programs in FLINT's examples directory.

TutorialA first programIntegers and polynomials with fmpz and fmpz_poly: declaring, initialising and clearing variables, arithmetic, printing and factoring, and how to compile, link and run the program.TutorialCombining modules: a multimodular determinantInteger matrices, matrices modulo word-size primes and the Chinese remainder theorem, combined to compute a determinant over the integers from determinants modulo primes.TutorialThe example programsWhat each program in FLINT's examples directory does, how to build and run it, and which ones are good starting points for one's own programs.
