I am also a student and I think what can help me most is an idea of what is
needed next.What libraries need to developed next.
Yes now we have the Boost.Math Generalized Hyper geometric Functions I feel
that I really have nothing objective when I just compile the code and cross
my fingers for errors to occur *I know they won't*.
I bet you can advice me on how am I supposed to look into this,what do you
as the author of the library thinks need more effort?
Well that would be really helpfull
