[comp.lang.fortran] Arbitrary Precision Numerical Routines

bapty@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (Theodore Allan Bapty) (06/16/91)

  Does anyone know of a library of arbitrary precision mathematical
routines?  A friend is inverting a large, poorly conditioned matrix
and double precision does not seem adequate.  He believes that 
higher precision *might* help.

   Thanks in advance,

Look for R.P.Brent's routines in netlib.

Q:  What should I know about quicksort?   A:  That it is *slow*.
Q:  When should I use it?  A:  When you have only 256 words of main storage.
