Is anyone currently working on multivariate root finding in the math toolkit or elsewhere? Anyone know if this is planned? It would be good to have an alternative to GSL.
Why just keep inventing new, overlapped, wheels instead of improving the existing ones?
Two issues spring to mind: * GSL is under the GPL which not everyone can use. * GSL is a C language interface, we can do better (interface wise) in C++, more flexible etc. Of course algorithm wise, one would hope that both would use "best of breed" algorithms. John.
