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,
Complex Numbers Roots of Polynomials Special Functions
Vectors and Matrices Permutations Sorting
BLAS Support Linear Algebra Eigensystems
Fast Fourier Transforms Quadrature Random Numbers
Quasi-Random Sequences Random Distributions Statistics
Histograms N-Tuples Monte Carlo Integration
Simulated Annealing Differential Equations Interpolation
Numerical Differentiation Chebyshev Approximation Series Acceleration
Discrete Hankel Transforms Root-Finding Minimization
Least-Squares Fitting Physical Constants IEEE Floating-Point
As of 2004, GSL itself is essentially feature complete, the developers
are not actively working on any major new functionality.
