I must admit I know very little about numerical methods, but I have written little Euler method solvers on occasion (albeit in more forgiving languages than C). However, my advisor tells me that I'll need to use a method that's good for stiff ODEs. This doesn't mean much to me as my ODE training is woefully inadequate, but he said I should use the Gear method. I was just wondering what the C programmers out there use, since I was having trouble finding stuff. Leave it to Pete to write his own solvers... I don't know that I'll go down that road.
Thanks to Shawn for the suggestions. I'll look into linking Fortran code and I'll take a look at NIST.
