ALL: I am looking for source code to programs the solve linear algebra problems dealing with matrices. Any suggestions? DWM

Any particular language you prefer? Don't forget to check Compuserve's other forums… there are forums maintained by computer magazines that often contain useful code like matrix routines, as well as the IBM and Mac forums that might contain rather generic code for doing things like that…

JOHN… Actually any language would be best, but my friend understands Basic and Pascal best. I can help him with C, etc. DWM

David, There were a series of articles in Amazing Amiga or the Tech Journal which presented a library of matrix routines for just your problem. You can also find a book on Advanced Basic programming by Alan Miller at B. Daltons or such which provides several subroutines for solving linear math problems.

Steven….your right I forgot ALL about Amazing Amiga mag….and I work for a B. Daltons part time….I'll check for the book. Thanks ZILLIONs for the ideas. DWM

David, You're welcome!! I don't remember when the two articles appeared, but I do remember them. I believe the library was described in one of the articles and how to use it in the other. I don't recall where the library was available, but since the code was printed in the mag, you could simply replicate it. It was given in C, but the routines are pretty standard, so you could write them in another language. Good luck.

David, Aha, so you found it. Good!
