As far as this code library goes, there is almost certainly room to improve its performance. As far as a thesis goes interpolation is a pretty well worked out mathematical problem, but there are a lot of good CS applications, for example in video games, that you could apply it to. > 5. *Do we implement any algorithms other than those available in > commons-math?* > The current framework in commons-math is in my opinion good and the first priority is to turn this into a freestanding library. > 6.

Then we can evaluate how good the testing coverage is and what changes to the test library need to be made. That would be good experience for you I think. > By the way, the link to the package summary in [ NUMBERS-96 ] has > one wrong character ')' at the end, so it is basically inaccessible. > I think Gilles just fixed that.
