Practical Numerical Math Routines
}
\description{
This package provides R implementations of more advanced
math functions from Matlab and Octave (and the Euler Math Toolbox)
with a special view on optimization and time series routines.
Some of these realizations are the result of courses on Scientific
Computing (``Wissenschaftliches Rechnen'') and are mostly intended to
demonstrate how to implement certain algorithms in R/S.

The R package `matlab' contains some of the basic routines from Matlab,
but unfortunatela not any of the higher math routines.
