Eigen, a shared linear algebra library for KDE apps

[Kleag]

Hello,

Don't know if it has all what you want, but ublas, part of the boost 
libraries, (http://www.boost.org/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/overview.htm) has 
vectors, matrices, solving of systems of linear equations...

Well, I did not use this library myself, just read the doc introduction, but 
as a user of other Boost libraries, I'm usualy very happy with them.

Regards,

Kleag
