Thanks for your project. The contents of the GSL are

  • Complex Numbers
  • Roots of Polynomials
  • Special Functions
  • Vectors and Matrices
  • Permutations
  • Sorting
  • BLAS Support
  • Linear Algebra
  • Eigensystems
  • Fast Fourier Transforms
  • Quadrature
  • Random Numbers
  • Quasi-Random Sequences
  • Random Distributions
  • Statistics
  • Histograms
  • N-Tuples
  • Monte Carlo Integration
  • Simulated Annealing
  • Differential Equations
  • Interpolation
  • Numerical Differentiation
  • Chebyshev Approximation
  • Series Acceleration
  • Discrete Hankel Transforms
  • Root-Finding
  • Minimization
  • Least-Squares Fitting
  • Physical Constants
  • IEEE Floating-Point
  • Discrete Wavelet Transforms
  • Basis splines
  • Running Statistics
  • Sparse Matrices and Linear Algebra

Could GSL users here say which categories have a lot of functionality that is missing from existing Fortran libraries. Knowing that would help a Fortran programmer know when to call GSL and also suggest areas where open-source Fortran developers could fill gaps.

It should be noted that (F)GSL is under the GPL (not LGPL) licence , i.e. derived works (programs or libraries) have to be published under GPL too.

While this is perfectly legitimate, one should be aware of that before using (F)GSL in own projects.
