The problem with the different types can (hopefully!) be overcome using
operator overloading in C++, although I know that's not to everyone's
taste. I'm hoping for this.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I was working on an interpreter
for functions similar to maple, using GSL. It stalled for a bit, but
the parser is now written and works with operator precedence for
everything except complex numbers and vectors/matrices, although they
should not be too difficult to apply.
As for functions, currently I've implemented polynomial solving and some
statistic's functions which give me enough to test the parser with.
