Welcome to of the index of resources for numerical computation
in C or C++.  It is a collection of pointers to:

    - free source code available on the net,
    - articles and documents, especially those available over the net.

This file is
   ftp://usc.edu/pub/C-numanal/numcomp-free-c.gz
   ftp://ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/FAQ/numcomp-free-c
or c/numcomp-free-c on netlib (slightly outdated).
Also see the last item on http://www.*-*-*.com/

The book reviews which were here have been deleted in order to
fight bloat.  You can find them in
http://www.*-*-*.com/ ~ajayshah
but be warned that we have a slow leased line and our systems are only
up from 9 to 7 GMT+0530.

Please see the section "interesting sites" below to get some help on
how to retrieve software listed here.

Table of Contents:

The index is biased towards fields I work in.
Please send me suggestions, corrections and improvements.

Explanations of fields
----------------------

Name        if the archive has a obvious name, then that is shown.
            Otherwise I invent something sensible.
Where       is a pointer into a ftp site, or sufficient information to
            figure that out.  The information at EOF may enlighten
            you if you are still stuck.  Ideally I try to give information
            which is explicit enough for use with (say) ftpmail.
Systems     The default is Unix.  If it runs on other systems this is shown,
            if it does NOT run on Unix this is shown.
Language    The default is ANSI C.  The alternatives are K&R and C++.
Author      I try to give the name(s) and email addresses.  Sometimes the
            email address is a contact person, even if it's not the author.
Version     This tries to identify a most-recent version and gives it's date.
Description A one-line description
Comments    Are a few keywords thrown in to help you egrep.

Many things are incomplete; tell me of anything which hurts your eyes.
Please point me to goodies I've overlooked.  If you have source code
which may be of wide interest, please make it available to the net.

Name        : jgraph.Z

Description : filter for producing {encapsulated,} postscript
              using input in a script language.  Presentation quality results.
Systems     : Unix
Where       : in pub on princeton.edu, also jgraph.shar in misc on netlib
Language    : C
Version     : 8.3
Comments    : Very useful for post-processing the results of a computational
              program.  E.g. an awk program can turn numbers into jgraph
              code, or a C program can generate jgraph directly.
              The script language gives a very high degree of control over
              the final appearance.  There is a mailing list.

Name        : LASSPTools
Where       : /pub/LASSPTools at ept.msc.cornell.edu
Systems     : Unix
Description : Data manipulation and entry tools for Unix.
Author      : Various people in the Cornell physics department
Comments    : A diverse set of tools by various people at the Laboratory
              of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell.  Most useful for
              a set of X-windows applications and UNIX filters for
              interactive data manipulation. For instance, there's a
              mouse-operated track-ball that outputs a rotation matrix
              describing the orientation of the ball.

Name        : leda
Description : library of efficient data types and algorithms
Version     : v3.0, 26 Nov 1992
Where       : in pub/LEDA on ftp.cs.uni-sb.de (134.96.252.31)

Comments    : includes code on computational geometry

Name        : lin_alg.shar.Z
Where       : in c++ on Netlib
Description : BLAS 1 and 2 in C++

Name        : logspline
Where       : file logspline (a shar file) in S directory on statlib

Description : logspline density estimation
              fully automatic nonparametric density estimation
              adaptive smoothing using splines
Version     : statlib, last update April 21, 1993
Comments    : actually the objective of this file is to give a end-user
              of the S statistical package this functionality.  But the
              actual computation is done in C.
              Described in Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics,
              (1993), vol 1, 301-328.

Name        : lpsolve
Where       : volume02 of comp.sources.reviewed
Description : very good mixed integer linear program solver

Version     : 1.4, 18 January 1994
Comments    : Its core is a sparse matrix dual simplex LP solver.  MILP
              problems are solved with a branch-and-bound iteration over LP
              solutions. It uses a lex+yacc parser to read a human-friendly
              algebraic input format.  The author has used the program to
              solve LP problems up to about 30000 variables and 50000
              constraints (on a 22 MFLOPS HP9000/750).

Name        : lsqrft15.zip

Systems     : OS/2 2.x, UNIX
Version     : 1.5, 28 February 1994
Description : Non-linear least squares fitting program that opens
              a pipe to gnuplot and plots data and attempted fit.
              It's easy to define your own functions and recompile.
              Can fit multidimensional data to functions of more
              than one independent variable.  You can choose whether
              to vary parameters.
Language    : ANSI C

Name        : machar
Where       : in misc on Netlib
Description : find out properties of floating point hardware

Version     : October 1985

Name        : madpack
Where       : Netlib, in pdes/madpack
Description : MADPACK is a a compact package for solving systems of
              linear equations using multigrid or aggregation
              disaggregation methods.  Imbedded in the algorithms
              are implementations for sparse Gaussian elimination
              and symmetric Gauss-Seidel (unaccelerated or
              accelerated by conjugate gradients or Orthomin(1)).
              This package is particularly useful for solving
              problems which arise from discretizing partial
              differential equations, regardless of whether finite
              differences, finite elements, or finite volumes are
              used.
