# # = Getting started # # The GNU Scientific Library ({GSL}[http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/"target="_top]) # is a collection of routines for numerical 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 very high level languages. The source code is distributed # under the GNU General Public License. # # The {Ruby/GSL}[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rb-gsl/"target="_top] is Ruby # bidings for GSL. This provides higher-level interfaces to the GSL functions. # See {here}[link:rdoc/use_rdoc.html] for installation. To use the library , just put at the head of your scripts require("gsl"), or type it from the command line of irb. # # #
