The MATH2 upper-level math package is a group of basic tools for standard
numerical calculations that are frequently used in geophysical fluid dynamic studies. Regrettably,
it is only partially complete at the present, and much more work is needed.
Many of the packages corresponding to MATH2 can be acquired as source codes
from existing software, such as IMSL1.1,
NAG 1.2, and
Numerical Recipes1.3.
However, these source codes do not necessarily have the precision required by
researchers in the geophysical fluid dynamic field. Furthermore, many of the
above have the setback of not being a Public Domain Software (PDS), and so their source codes
cannot be incorporated into and freely distributed as part of original software
developed by
researchers.
The goal of the MATH2 package is to independently develop or to extract from the PDS, the tools for the following calculations.
