<DT><B>Description:</B><DD><P>Matrix<LIB> is a Matlab Compatible C++ Matrix

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>.
|
||
<P>MS Windows and many Unix platform are supported with a variety
