fvn is a Fortran95 mathematical library/module. It provides various usefull subroutine covering
linear algebra, numerical integration, least square polynomial, spline interpolation, zero finding,
special functions etc.

Most of the work for linear algebra is done by interfacing Lapack http://www.netlib.org/lapack which
means that Lapack and Blas http://www.netlib.org/blas must be available on your system for linking fvn.
If you use an AMD microprocessor, the good idea is to use ACML ( AMD Core Math Library 
http://developer.amd.com/acml.jsp which contains an optimized Blas/Lapack.

fvn include some integrated libraries : integration tasks uses a slightly modified version of Quadpack http://www.netlib.org/quadpack, the fnlib library http://www.netlib.org/fn is used for special functions
and sparse system resolution uses SuiteSparse http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/.

This library has been initially written for the use of the "Acoustic and microsonic" group leaded by 
Sylvain Ballandras in the Time and Frequency Department of institute Femto-ST \url{http://www.femto-st.fr/.
