Mathematical Foundation Classes

• Complex numbers and quaternions
• Complex polynomials
• Complex two-by-two matrices
• Moebius or linear fractional transformations

Internally, all data is adminstered with primitive data types for performance reasons. Externally, all classes offer a great deal of functionality and convenience.

The general convention for all classes is the following:

Operations can be performed using two sets of methods. To multiply, for example, two instances A and B of a class, you may either call

to store the result in C. In the first case, a new instance is created, in the latter this is avoided.

All operations follow this convention, and data types mix:

To multiply and instance A with a double d

Entries can be accessed using set- and get-methods and various data types.
