Abstract
There are well known algorithms to compute the class group of the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a number field $K$ and the group of invertible ideal classes of a non-maximal order $R$. In this paper we explain how to compute also the isomorphism classes of non-invertible ideals of an order $R$ in a finite product of number fields $K$. 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 $\mathbb{Q}$-algebras, which under certain assumptions can be explicitly described in terms of ideal classes.
