About the Book

This reference manual is the definitive guide to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. The manual documents over 1,000 mathematical routines needed for solving problems in science and engineering.

This new revised version of the second edition (August 2006, v1.8) features numerous corrections, additional examples and function descriptions. It also includes the GPG key used to sign the GSL source, allowing you to check downloaded files for security.

The authors of this manual are the original developers of the GNU Scientific Library.
