I use Fink to install the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). Fink is like Aptitute (high-level package manager) in Linux. Fink is like Aptitute (high-level package manager) in Linux. If you are not sure if GSL is already installed, at the Terminal prompt $ type. The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite. This installation is known to work easily if you use Mac OS X and have installed python and gsl using MacPorts. Modify the setupcfg.py Change the 'GSLINCLUDE' and 'GSLLIB' variables to your path to the GSL header and library files. PyGSL: Python interface for GNU Scientific Library Status of GSL-Library: The gsl-library is since version 1.0 stable and for general use. Read more about it at the GSL homepage. Status of this interface: We are collecting implementations of parts of gsl. So the interface is not complete.

The GNU Scientific Library (or GSL) is a software library for numerical computations in applied mathematics and science. The GSL is written in C; wrappers are available for other programming languages. The GSL is part of the GNU Project^[1] and is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Project history[edit]

The GSL project was initiated in 1996 by physicists Mark Galassi and James Theiler of Los Alamos National Laboratory.^[2] They aimed at writing a modern replacement for widely used but somewhat outdated Fortran libraries such as Netlib.^[3] They carried out the overall design and wrote early modules; with that ready they recruited other scientists to contribute.

The 'overall development of the library and the design and implementation of the major modules' was carried out by Brian Gough and Gerard Jungman.^[2] Other major contributors were Jim Davies, Reid Priedhorsky, M. Booth, and F. Rossi.^[2]

Version 1.0 was released in 2001. Find itunes library location mac. In the following, the library expanded only slowly; as the documentation stated, the maintainers were more interested in stability than in additional functionality. Major version 1 ended with release 1.16 of July 2013; this was the only public activity in the three years 2012–2014.

Vigorous development resumed with publication of version 2.0 in October 2015. The latest version 2.5 was released on 14 June 2018.

Example[edit]

The following example program calculates the value of the Bessel function for 5:^[4]

Gsl Library For Windows

The example program has to be linked to the GSL libraryupon compilation:

The output is shown below and should be correct to double-precision accuracy:

Features[edit]

The software library provides facilities for:

• Vectors and matrices
• Numerical integration (based on QUADPACK)
• Discrete Hankel transform
• Root finding in one and multiple dimensions
• Minimization in one and multiple dimensions

Programming-language bindings[edit]

Since the GSL is written in C, it is straightforward to provide wrappers for other programming languages. Such wrappers currently exist for

• AMPL^[5]
• C++^[6]
• Fortran^[7]
• Haskell^[8][9]
• Java^[10]
• Lisp^[11]
• Ocaml^[12]
• Python^[13]
• R^[14][15]
• Ruby^[16]

C++ support[edit]

The GSL can be used in C++ classes, but not using pointers to member functions, because the type of pointer to member function is different from pointer to function.^[17] Instead, pointers to static functions have to be used. Another common workaround is using a functor. C++ wrappers for GSL are available,^[6] although many are not regularly maintained.

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines fornumerical computing. The routines have been written from scratch in C,and present a modern Applications Programming Interface(API) for C programmers, allowing wrappers to be written for veryhigh level languages. The source code is distributed under the GNUGeneral Public License.

Routines available in GSL¶

The library covers a wide range of topics in numerical computing.Routines are available for the following areas,

The use of these routines is described in this manual. Each chapterprovides detailed definitions of the functions, followed by exampleprograms and references to the articles on which the algorithms arebased.

Where possible the routines have been based on reliable public-domainpackages such as FFTPACK and QUADPACK, which the developers of GSLhave reimplemented in C with modern coding conventions.

GSL is Free Software¶

The subroutines in the GNU Scientific Library are “free software”;this means that everyone is free to use them, and to redistribute themin other free programs. The library is not in the public domain; it iscopyrighted and there are conditions on its distribution. Theseconditions are designed to permit everything that a good cooperatingcitizen would want to do. What is not allowed is to try to preventothers from further sharing any version of the software that they mightget from you.

Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to sharecopies of programs that you are given which use the GNU ScientificLibrary, that you receive their source code or else can get it if youwant it, that you can change these programs or use pieces of them in newfree programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you todeprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distributecopies of any code which uses the GNU Scientific Library, you must givethe recipients all the rights that you have received. You must makesure that they, too, receive or can get the source code, both to thelibrary and the code which uses it. And you must tell them theirrights. This means that the library should not be redistributed inproprietary programs.

Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone findsout that there is no warranty for the GNU Scientific Library. If theseprograms are modified by someone else and passed on, we want theirrecipients to know that what they have is not what we distributed, sothat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on ourreputation.

The precise conditions for the distribution of software related to theGNU Scientific Library are found in theGNU General Public License.Further information about thislicense is available from the GNU Project webpage Frequently AskedQuestions about the GNU GPL.

The Free Software Foundation also operates a license consultingservice for commercial users (contact details available fromhttp://www.fsf.org.

Obtaining GSL¶

The source code for the library can be obtained in different ways, bycopying it from a friend, purchasing it on CDROM or downloading itfrom the internet. A list of public ftp servers which carry the sourcecode can be found on the GNU website, http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/.

The preferred platform for the library is a GNU system, which allows itto take advantage of additional features in the GNU C compiler and GNU Clibrary. However, the library is fully portable and should compile onmost systems with a C compiler.

Announcements of new releases, updates and other relevant events aremade on the info-gsl@gnu.org mailing list. To subscribe to thislow-volume list, send an email of the following form:
