-
- First, the good news is that you can do all those things in C, and you
- can do it in portable C.
-
- The bad news is that there are no functions for the problems you want
- to solve in the standard C library. You have to either
-
- a) write your own linear algebra and complex number packages or
- b) buy comercially available products or
- c) see what is in the public domain.
