Theoretical: * simple facts from algebraic geometry, singularity theory, finite fields;
* theorem of Hasse-Weil, estimating the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective curve C defined over a finite field (g=arithmetic genus=12):
# C ( Fp ) >  p+1 - 2g*sqrt(p)     (> 0 if p>572);
* simple facts from the theory of standard bases;
Computational: * Gröbner basis computations without content extractions;
* multivariate factorization;
* resolution of plane curve singularities;
* primary decomposition.
