Abstract |
|
|
The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a free numerical library for the GNU operating system. The goal of the project is to provide a free equivalent to existing proprietary numerical libraries, such as NAG or IMSL. This talk will give an introduction to the design and use of the library, and the history of GSL. GSL home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl |
