But that doesn't help Ravi.
He needs to learn how to call R functions from compiled code,
since one wants the laplace transform of an R function.
1) you can do this only from C, not from Fortran
2) This is not a big problem, since it will be the C code that
both calls into Fortran and into R.
In some sense, this problem is very much similar ``in spirit''
to solving differential equations:
You have functions as input and functions as output.
And you are lucky: The "odesolve" CRAN package has the same
basic setup as you: It uses a Fortran algorithm to solve
differential equations specified by R functions.
So download odesolve (source, not "install package"), study its
code and learn :-) You definitely should also (first) learn
from reading in the "Writing R Extensions" manual, particularly
the chapter "System and foreign language interfaces".
