Hi all,

Great thing you're working on improving Java Numerics. Your matrix 
package could use the following:
- arbitrary precision computations (fractions, real numbers...) the 
double type just isn't safe enough
- a visual component for matrices (JComponent derivate)
- submatrices
- vector datatypes

Currently, I'm working on this. I have implemented a publicly available 
math package for arbitrary precision computations and am implementing 
vector and matrix types on top (not publicly available yet). I'm not as 
technical as you are as mathematics are concerned, but my design is 
based on interfaces (multiple storage methods may be used in different 
situations), I offer support for submatrices and -vectors, etc. Maybe we 
could join forces?

Java Ultimate Math Package:

Let me know what you think.


GreetinX++,

Ernst
