minimathlibs

A collection of small mathematical tools for everyday problem solving.

Two main features:

• 3D geometry: points and transformations.
• Small, statically sized matrices.

Based on concepts used in code developed during my time at CERN.

Building

Minimathlibs is a header only library, and has no external dependencies other than a C++03 compliant compiler and standard library plus an implementation of TR1. All necessary header files are in include/minimath, and should be installed under minimath.

To ease installment from source, CMake files are provided with the usual targets. This is an example of an installation into a custom location:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local
make install

This will install the minimathlibs header files into /opt/local/include/minimath.

Testing

The tests require boost.test. They may be built and run either directly from a provided makefile, or using cmake:

To build and run the default tests from the makefile: from the minimathlibs directory, run

make && make test

from the minimathlibs directory.

To build and run the default tests using cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make && make test

The 3D transformation part of minimathlibs is designed to work with external 3D point classes satisfying certain minimal criteria. To run the tests with a custom point class,

make clean # clean up previous build
CXXFLAGS=-DCUSTOM_POINT make test
