• We propose an E-book containing
  • Linearly ordered text
  • Multiple access modes via hypertext
    • Table of contents of book
    • Index of book
    • A decision-tree querying the user to pick the right algorithm
    • Pointers to other trees (netlib, GAMS)
  • Multiple levels of algorithmic description
    • ``Template'' in pseudo-code, further pointers to common notation , etc.
    • One-page description of algorithm
    • Matlab implementation
    • Fortran, C, C++ implementations
    • Detailed text (references to literature)
      (``Numerical Linear Algebra'', Demmel)
    • Pointers to literature
  
  
• C++ implementation of LinSolve or EigSolve incorporating parts of decision tree (Pozo)
  
  
• Open architecture for future growth
  
  
• Hard-nosed editing for most reliable parts
