I'm very interested in numerical computing, but not only ^_^ My main interest is on structural computing (applied to biology) but it uses a lot of numerical computation ;) By the way, does anybody knows if there is some kind of GNU R ruby binding ? If not it may be a good project as I think I can begin easily and improve it slowly ... Pierre -- BOFH excuse #262: Our POP server was kidnapped by a weasel.
