The journey begins with Gauss who developed the first known method that can be termed iterative. The early 20th century saw good progress of these methods which were initially used to solve least-squares systems, and then linear systems arising from the discretization of partial different equations. Then iterative methods received a big impetus in the 1950s - partly because of the development of computers. The survey does not attempt to be exhaustive. Rather, the aim is to underline the way of thinking at a specific time and to highlight the major ideas that steered the field.","PeriodicalId":369218,"journal":{"name":"75 Years of Mathematics of\n Computation","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122072496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our technique for computing Drinfeld modular polynomials is based on the traditional analytic approach for obtaining classical modular polynomials. Our ideas for generating isogeny graphs and finding endomorphism rings for rank 2 Drinfeld modules closely follows the work of Kohel and Fouquet. All our algorithms were implemented in SAGE and numerical examples are included.
