Title: Counting Cycles in Directed Graphs

Abstract:
In any directed graph, the cycle packing number is the maximum amount of edge disjoint directed cycles within the graph.  In my research, I developed an extension to the Macauly2 software package, which allows a user to input a directed graph and receive the cycle packing number.
