Simple Linear Algebra Protocols

The goal of this library is to provide a simple, lightweight, and easy-to-read linear algebra package in C. It prioritizes simplicity and readibility.

Some of the key features and design decisions are:

• All memory is owned by the user
• A matrix is just a pointer with some meta-data, and is typically passed by value
• Code is separated into header files that can be included or not, allowing an opt-in approach that decreases compilation time and code size

For details on installing, getting started, and using the library, please see the Documentation.

Future Work

Here are some of the things I have planned for the future:

• [ ] C+ wrapper (using std::shared_ptr)
• [ ] Allow for different backends (BLAS, Intel MKL, Eigen, etc.)
• [ ] Improved matrix multiplication performance
• [ ] More matrix factorizations (Generic LU, LDLt)
• [ ] Sparse matrices
