[Gambas-user] gb.gsl: Polynomial arithmetic / gb.flint

[Tobias Boege]

Hi Benoit,

the Polynomial class in gb.gsl does not support all the arithmetic
operations I'm going to need. I'd like to multiply two polynomials and
to divide a polynomial by a (non-zero) scalar. I just saw that GSL
doesn't implement polynomial arithmetic at all and you wrote the addition
and subtraction functions by hand...

What do you think about the FLINT library? I just glanced at its
documentation and it looks like a treasure chest, and already pretty
object-oriented. I'll add gb.flint somewhere near the top of my TODO
list...

And out of curiosity: for the polynomials with real or complex
coefficients, there is an euclidean division operation defined. The
GB_OPERATOR_DESC structure has no entry for the MOD operator, or does it?
If not, there is no chance of doing euclidean division via operators?

Regards,
Tobi
