Re: Opportunities for numerical work on FreeBSD?

       Hi Robert,

she might be interested to contribute to CORE-MATH
(https://core-math.gitlabpages.inria.fr/). This is
not part of FreeBSD, but FreeBSD might incorporate
routines from CORE-MATH (which are under MIT license).

Best regards,
Paul Zimmermann
