Class Library, designed for development of advanced scientific high-level

C++ code. Our main design objective was to keep the C++ source code
|
|||
|
clear and similar to the equivalent Matlab code, making your shift from
|
|||
|
Matlab to C++ easier. If you know how to program Matlab, you
|
|||
|
already know how to use our Matrix<LIB> C++ Math Library. The code
|
|||
|
was carefully optimized for maximal performance, too. Matrix<LIB> is
|
|||
|
also included in the MATCOM V2 distribution.
|
|||
|
<P>The library includes complex math, binary and unary operators,
|
|||
|
powerful indexing capabilities, signal processing, file I/O, linear
|
|||
|
algebra, string operations and graphics. Over 300 mathematical
|
|||
|
functions are included in Matrix<LIB>.
|
