I posted the following request in comp.lang.objective-c and got no  
responce. Either no one reads comp.lang.objective-c or no one is using
Objective C for numerical work. I find the latter hard to believe.
There was an interesting posting in comp.lang.c++ recently entitled

"Index of free C or C++ source code for numerical computation"

from Ajay Shah. My intent was to locate or collate a similar list for
Objective C. 

___________________________ Repeat Request_________________________

DO SCIENTIFIC OBJECTS EXIST ?
I am considering doing some numerical programming in objective C and I  
would be interested to find out to what extent libraries of scientific  
(i.e. non GUI) objects are already available. After all that is the idea  
behind reusable software components. I am particularly interested in  
implementations of matrices and vectors with corresponding method  
functions for accessing elements, changing elements, adding, subtracting,  
inverting etc. I am interested in both stand alone implementations or  
implementations that may use Stepstone's Foundation package or NeXTs  
objective C as a starting point (I will be working with a NeXT).
 
INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING WITH Objective C ?
I would also be interested in any references, texts or articles, that deal  
with the problems associated with scientific programming, i.e interfacing  
with Numerical Recipes in C or other numerical libraries. 

I will collate the information and post it at later time.
Thanks
Alastair McLean
