/src/math is a refactoring of code that was previously in
/src/electronics/simulation.

Eigen, in theory, would completely replace all of /src/math,

When I tried to switch to Eigen, I simply deleted /src/math and tried to
get the rest to work by making Eigen calls... I discarded my work after
getting some segfaults I didn't understand... (indubitably pointer
problems, ie I was using my own math libraries using non-standard
conventions that didn't work with Eigen...)

Without the understanding that libktechmath is an amature attempt at
duplicating Eigen, you'll just be creating a royal-big mess.
