[Help-gsl] Polynomial root finding

2006-01-10 Thread Will Leckie
Hi, Great work on the GSL, I love using it in my research. I'm using the GSL in my research to solve arbitrary polynomials of order up to 4. I've written a little wrapper around the GSL to use gsl_poly_complex_solve_quadratic() for quadratics and gsl_poly_complex_solve_cubic() for cubics, and
