I am very unfamiliar with the C language, so I beg your indulgence.
I normally work with math packages such as "MATLAB", but because of
its relatively slow speed on some routine loops, I thought it would
be good to write them in C.  But I found out that unlike Fortran, C
does not, as far as I could see, data type for imaginary numbers.
Or am I completely wrong?  Would I have to work with "structures"
and redefine most operations such as *,+,-, etc. to work with these
structures?
Help would greatly be appreciated!
