GNU Science and otter matters

Joey Bernard, who writes about science under Linux, has just started a multi (as in two?) part series on GSL, the GNU Scientific Library. It is here. Just browsing through the files of GSL is fun. You find little gems like this:

const size_t npidigits = 5000 ;
const double pidigits [5000] = { 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8,

I assume you mean "kill" in some sort of metaphorical sense. Or is this an actual threat for which you should be put on Internet Probation until some non existent future time when unnamed individuals decide to let you off Internet Probation?

Yep, used the GSL for linear algebra problems and non-linear solutions to equation sets. There are other free math libraries as well such as the Los Alamos National Laboratory Basic Linear Algebra Set, LAPACK, and LINPACK and many other goodies from government funded research labs as well as other groups around the world. I just can't understand colleagues who waste time and money on the "Numerical Recipes in FORTRAN" stuff - or worse still the other incarnations of the "Numerical Recipes" zombie.
