Introduction

The SciC is a collection of routines and apps written from scratch in C, and present a modern Applications Programming Interface (API) for C programmers, allowing wrappers to be written for very high level languages. The source code is distributed under the MIT License.

Routines available in SCIC

The libraries cover a wide range of topics in scientific computing. Routines are available for the following areas,

Error Handling

Numerical Computation

Data Structures

Conventions used in this manual

This manual contains many examples which can be typed at the keyboard. A command entered at the terminal is shown like this:

$ command

The first character on the line is the terminal prompt, and should not be typed. The dollar sign $ is used as the standard prompt in this manual, although some systems may use a different character.

The examples assume the use of the GNU operating system. There may be minor differences in the output on other systems. The commands for setting environment variables use the Bourne shell syntax of the standard GNU shell (bash).
