This page, and the links therein, describe the more general classes of a Java scientific and numerical library written by Michael Thomas Flanagan to support both his own research and his undergraduate programming courses and projects.
These general classes form a package entitled flanagan which may be downloaded as a jar file. It has also been installed on the UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering Departmental network.
DOWNLOADING THE flanagan.jar FILE
- Permission to copy:
A large number of individuals have requested copies of this library. Consequently I have made it available, as a jar file (see below), with the qualifation that it is written to suport a course that I lecture. Though I believe it is professionally written, it is not a commercial product and the methods are not necessarily as all embracing as might be found in a commercial product nor are they checked to be fault free in all possible foreseable situations as would be, or at least ought to be, in a commercial product; you use this library at your own risk and more formally:

Click here to download flanagan.jar
This version of flanagan.jar was compliled with version jdk1.6.0_06.
This version requires Java Platform Standard Edition 6.0 [Save as flanagan.jar].
The flanagan.jar file size is about 1.5 MB - varying slightly with update. A tutorial on manipulating jar files may be found on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html
A convenient use of this jar file is to place it in the appropriate folder so that it simply becomes a library that you may import when writing your code. An appropriate folder is
jdk1.x.y_z/jre/lib/ext, where jdk1.x.y_z is your version (appropriate values for .x and .y_z) of the Sun Java Development Kit. You must also create an appropriate CLASSSPATH. If you are using Microsoft XP, and you have not done so already, create a CLASSPATH by going to the Control Panel, clicking on System, then clicking on Advanced, then clicking on Environmental Variables and then clicking on new in the upper section (User variables for ...). A dialog box will appear asking for a Variable name; type in CLASSPATH, and a Variable value; type in .\; followed by the path to flanagan.jar, e.g. .\;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\jre\lib\ext\flanagan.jar. Return clicking on the OK boxes.
