Abstract
This thesis describes and proves the correctness of an algorithm that computes the rational torsion subgroup for the Jacobian of any hyperelliptic curve, and describes the explicit theory that is required by this algorithm. It does not require a procedure that performs the group law on the rational points of the Jacobian. Furthermore, all the required procedures are explicitly described and implemented for Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus 3. Both the design of the algorithm and many required procedures are based on work by Michael Stoll. The rational torsion structures of many Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 with low discriminant have been computed for the LMFDB.
