I haven't used it myself, but I believe that Octave comes with C++
wrappers around a bunch of numerical libraries. Mostly linear algebra,
I'd guess, but there should be some others. I'd be interested in
comments from folks that have looked into using this in their own C++
programs (as opposed to using octave proper).
