As a side effect of my PhD project I've got a collection of
mathematical classes. I'd be happy to collect them together, tidy them
up and donate them to phobos the authors are interested in including
them. Matrices and vectors in particular get reinvented all the time
so I'm sure users of D will appreciate them being there. Quaternions
are probably somewhat more specialised; they are most often used for
representing rotations (they have different advantages and
disadvantages to rotation matrices). I've also written a solver for
cubic equations.
The matrix and vector classes are of the sort where the dimension is
known at compile time and will probably be most useful for modelling
geometry. High dimensional matrices and vectors are probably better
left to a scientific library (I remember there was talk that one might
be being proposed).
Would this sort of functionality be useful for phobos? At the moment,
I can't promise anything, I'm just trying to judge the interest should
I find time to look into it.

I've also re-invented this wheel for my research (vectors and
quaternions). I'll gladly send you a copy if you want to have a look-
see.
I use (sligltly patched) omg versions of these
http://team0xf.com:8080/omg
that seem to work reasonably well for my purposes (D1.0)

However, license on these and their dependencies are not Phobos compatible.
