To find determinate of matrix using boost Library

[Chetan7]

Hi,
I' am required to convert a MATLAB function into C++, and this requires me to find determinate of a matrix. I was told that use of BOOST library would make my job easier. I went through the documentation of BOOST Library, but couldn't find much info about the same.

If anyone could give a template for the above operation, It would be of lot of help and would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Regards

I use VNL (part of VXL: http://vxl.sourceforge.net/) for my math operations:

Here is the function you'd want:

Unless you have access to MATLAB's source code for this task, you wouldn't really be converting MATLAB's specific function to C++.

If you just want a function for computing the determinant of a matrix, why not try the NETLIB repository? Or the book "Numerical Recipes"? I am sure there are many other sources of code for this task.
