This package supports solve (M_SOLVE) and roots (M_ROOTS) operators for 
modular polynomials and modular polynomial systems. The moduli need not 
be primes. M_SOLVE requires a modulus to be set. M_ROOTS takes the 
modulus as a second argument. For example:

on modular; setmod 8;
m_solve(2x=4);            -&gt;  {{X=2},{X=6}}
m_solve({x^2-y^3=3});
    -&gt;  {{X=0,Y=5}, {X=2,Y=1}, {X=4,Y=5}, {X=6,Y=1}}
m_solve({x=2,x^2-y^3=3}); -&gt;  {{X=2,Y=1}}
off modular;
m_roots(x^2-1,8);         -&gt;  {1,3,5,7}
m_roots(x^3-x,7);         -&gt;  {0,1,6}
