This will contain a collection of Ada (and possibly lisp, if I get really ambitious) packages for numerical operations.

A rough outline of what I plan is below. Obviously, this will be subject to change. I expect that most, if not all of these packages will be generic so that they can be used on different numerical types.

In general, you should probably use the complex package in the Ada standard numerics library. This is more of a practice run for me. The one difference is that complex numbers are a tagged record so that object notation can be used for some of the operations, if that's important to you.

These are used to find roots (zero crossings) of functions. There are a number of different methods with diffrent pros and cons. It is important to understand the nature of the function before selecting the root finding algorithm.

The implemented algorithms are:

• Bisection
• Secant
