[alt.sources] Linear Algebra package?

najmi@hpcuhb.HP.COM (Farrukh Najmi) (04/01/89)

Hi, I am looking for source code
preferabbly in C that solves
simultaneous linear equations
and/or solve one unknown in
one equation using iteration.

Any clues would be welcome.
Please respond by mail. I
would be happy to post the result.

Thanks everyone who replied.
I have been recommended the 
following:

1. Numerical Recipes in C_ by Press,
   Flannery, Teukolsky, and Vetterling.
   Price 44.50 also available on disk
   for IBM (I imagine must be PC).
 
2. The LINPACK package developed at
   Argonne National Labs. 
   It's suppose to be free for use, and both well
   published and documented.

3. Handbook for Matrix Comp. by Coleman and Van Loan.

4. MATLAB is an interactive linear alg. package built onto LINPACK.

Regards Farrukh.
