The computation of Stiefel-Whitney classes

This page documents the source code of my programs dealing with the computation of Stiefel-Whitney classes. It is highly recommended that you read the accompanying paper first. After that, my advice is to go through the following steps:

• Go here and learn about the individual programs, what they do, their command line arguments, etc.
• Read the important warnings. Well, at least I think they are important. There is even a misuse of a mathematical term (!) in the comments.
• Take a tour through some snippets of code. I've written them purely for pedagogic purposes: they will give you a sample of the functions that I use all the time in the main programs. (People in a hurry can start here).
• Look at the source for the three main C++ programs: rep, hom and milnor.
• Dive in and look at the class hierarchy by following the link at the top of this page.
