The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++
programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License.
The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as
random number generators, special functions and least-squares
fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total.
The complete range of subject areas covered by the library includes,

As of 2004, GSL itself is essentially feature complete, the developers
are not actively working on any major new functionality.
