FMM 0.12

Forsyth Malcolm Moler

A collection of procedures for numerical computation. Originally published in “Computer Methods for Mathematical Computations” by George E. Forsythe, Michael A. Malcolm, and Cleve B. Moler. Prentice-Hall, 1977.

Currently only the bisection optimizer is implemented, but I hope one day to port all the subroutines. The bisection optimizer is actually credited to Richard Brent in my source (http://www.pdas.com/programs/fmm.f90)

Adding to that revision history (RLC = Ralph L. Carmichael, PS = Philip Schleihauf): !

This software is Public Domain. Have fun. And if you feel like porting more of the Fortran subroutines, share them back and I’ll add them to the package.

INSTALLING:

This package is on pypi. Just do:
