## 15 Algorithms

This chapter is an introduction to some of the algorithms used for various GMP operations. The code is likely to be hard to understand without knowing something about the algorithms.

Some GMP internals are mentioned, but applications that expect to be compatible with future GMP releases should take care to use only the documented functions.
