################################## Welcome to GSL shell documentation ################################## GSL shell is an interactive command line interface that provides easy access to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) collection of mathematical methods for numerical computations. GSL shell can be used interactively to perform calculations with matrices or vectors but it also allows for complex user-defined functions with the Lua scripting interpreter. Lua is a very interesting and easy to learn scripting language that features advanced functionalities like closures and metamethods. Lua is very easy to learn and will give you the power of defining your own complex routines to use the GSL library more effectively. `GSL Shell main page `_.
