Hello,
I am VERY new to octave but have some experience with mathematical
software, especially partial differential equations (PDE's). I have
noticed the lack of PDE software in octave and was thinking of helping
to fix this. I was thinking of trying to write a C++ wrapper (much in
the spirit of what is done with lsode) to the following reference:
**
Algorithm 540: PDECOL, General Collocation Software for Partial
Differential Equations [D3]
<http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=355849&coll=portal&dl=ACM&CFID=45079042&CFTOKEN=21829523>
N. K. Madsen, R. F. Sincovec
September 1979
*ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS)*, Volume 5 Issue 3
My questions then are (before I do too much work on this):
1) Would this be helpful?
2) Could I use the ACM FORTRAN code (pdecol.f) in octave, i.e. is it
GNU compliant? I am attaching a link to the ACM software copyright and
license information...I'm not very good at reading these things.

I think the BLAS algorithms originally appeared in ACM TOMS so I am
hoping that this will be alright.
Thanks,
John
