Introduction

This section will shed light on some external libraries which can great enhance C's power.

Since C is such a “small” language, you must typically rely on libraries and APIs for complex tasks (unless you code them up yourself).

Here is a short list of some common libraries that you might find useful :

  1. GLib
  2. GNU Scientific Library
  3. BLAS / LAPACK
  4. Apophenia
  5. GNUplot

We’ll go through them one by one, starting with GLib.
