[Boost-users] Boost (& Visual Studio 2003) for Dummies?

Hey all,
 
My need is to combine a program I've written with some linear algebra. I can
generally do most basic tasks in C/C++, but not yet derived classes and the
like.
 
Anyway, not wanting to reinvent the wheel, my searches revealed that 'boost'
might be a good source of code for some math functions I will need,
essentially matrix operations.
 
I read the getting started page http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html,
all I managed to do was run the batch file in the tools/build folder, but I
don't think this installed any libraries, or if it did, it didn't put them
where I need them..I don't have much experience working from the command
line in Windows.
 
Boost looks good, can anyone help me get started?
 
Thanks,
Matt
