After looking a bit at gsl’s doc I don’t think there is any advantage to using them if we are not using the error handling and reporting of gsl (by that I mean error estimates on the results). The only interesting detail is, quoting, “consistency across platforms”. If we are not doing high precision, I don’t think we should care too much on the kind of differences we should expect from C libraries across platforms.
