I hope to reimplement an expensive algorithm in Maple over windows. The suggestion I got is to write it in C and call it inside Maple. However, the algorithm itself is quite complicated and the linux version uses saclib2.1 library which provides many useful implementations of numerical routines. 

I therefore wonder if Maple provides its own C or C++ math libraries, so that I don't need to implement everything by myself?

If, assume I implement sth. using saclib and it runs well under cygwin,  can it be called directly in Maple without any modification to the actual code if correctly compiled?

Thanks,

Peter
