Hi, is there a recommended way to do complex arithmetic in clojure ? I am interested to see clojure going forward for scientific computing purposes. There is already considerable effort going on with core.matrix, incanter, expresso etc. But something thad is oddly lacking is support for complex numbers. For some areas, this is a show stopper and it is very basic stuff in other languages and systems: - common-lisp, python etc all have a standard complex type as part of the language/standard library - see language support here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_data_type
In Java, there are multiple incompatible complex number classes and I don't want that incompatibilities in clojure libraries that provide complex number manipulation. In my opinion we should strive as a community for a standard complex number datatype, that is agreed on by clojure libraries, and plays nicely with clojures other numeric types. Ideally, this would be provided as part of clojure.contrib or even clojure itself - like rationals are! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
