NAME
       Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK)


DESCRIPTION
       LAPACK  is  a  mathematical  library, which consists of FORTRAN subrou-
       tines, which enables users to solve linear systems of equations,  least
       squares  problems,  eigen problems and singular problems. It supersedes
       LINPACK and EISPACK by extending their functionality and also  by  pro-
       viding more efficient algorithms.  Whenever possible, LAPACK calls BLAS
       (usually level 2 &; level 3).

       The LAPACK included in MathKeisan is based on the original LAPACK which
       was  developed  by  the  LAPACK  project  team which was composed of E.
       Anderson (University of Tennessee, Knoxville), Z.  Bai  (University  of
       Kentucky  and  University  of California, Davis), C. Bischof (Institute
       for Scientific Computing, Technical  University  Aachen,  Germany),  S.
       Blackford  (University  of Tennessee, Knoxville), J. Demmel (University
       of  California,  Berkeley),  J.  Dongarra  (University  of   Tennessee,
       Knoxville,  and  Oak  Ridge National Lab.), J. Du Croz (Numerical Algo-
       rithms Group Ltd.), A. Greenbaum (University of Washington), S. Hammar-
       ling  (Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd.), A. McKenney, D. Sorensen (Rice
       University).

NOTES
       There are man pages for individual lapack subroutines. For example,  to
       view the man page for dgesv, type

              man dgesv
