Searching for mathematical software
A common situation is that you need a piece of code to solve
a particular problem. You believe somebody must have written software
to solve this type of problem already, but you do not know how to find it.
Here are some suggestions:
- Ask your co-workers and colleagues. Always do this first,
otherwise you can waste lots of time trying to find something
the person next-door may have already.
- Check Netlib. They have
a
search feature.
- Look it up in GAMS, the
Guide to Available Mathematical Software from
NIST.
