[Boost-users] Boost.Units and Ublas and Math

Hi,

I have been trying to use ublas with a user-defined numeric type and have been
having problems with that--problems with resolving sqrt etc since the sqrt in
ublas invokes std::sqrt.

I wanted to use the policy and exception handling in the Math library with the
ublas class, but I haven't been able to figure out the helper functions that
would allow the use of my numeric types. Can this be done? Any suggestions would
be appreciated.

My next step would be to add units to the numeric values--assuming this can be
done in the context of ublas.

Is it possible to use Boost.Units and Boost.Ublas together?
For example create a ublas vector of positions?
 
What's the best approach for arithmetic operations, units, vectors, matrices,
and user-defined exceptions using Boost?

Thanks for your help,
Pat
