Abstract
There are well known algorithms to compute the class group of the maximal order of a number field and the group of invertible ideal classes of a non-maximal order . In this paper we explain how to compute also the isomorphism classes of non-invertible ideals of an order in a finite product of number fields . In particular we also extend the above-mentioned algorithms to this more general setting. Moreover, we generalize a theorem of Latimer and MacDuffee providing a bijection between the conjugacy classes of integral matrices with given minimal and characteristic polynomials and the isomorphism classes of lattices in certain -algebras, which under certain assumptions can be explicitly described in terms of ideal classes.
