Programming Skills

Basic	Written a few programs in ABC-80 Basic.

Pascal	Taken two courses in programming using ANSI Pascal at Linköping University.

Matlab	Mikael uses Matlab occasionally to generate graphs for his research and for his teaching.

Magma	This is the most important tool for Mikaels research. He uses Magma to perform finite field arithmetic. Occasionally he also uses Magma for permutation group operations and studies of error correcting codes.

Python	Mikael maintains the web site at the Division of Communication Systems, of which most parts are programmed using Python. He has also used Python to produce a few tools that are being used at the Division of Communication Systems.
