I intend to use SMALLTALK V for teaching an undergraduate course in
Numerical Analysis next year.  Before I write the support software, I
would like to know what already exists.  I would also like to hear
from anyone who has experience using SMALLTALK in teaching (or doing)
numerical analysis.

Needed classes:
   Data structures: e.g. intervals, nets, vectors, matrices, linear
                    systems, polynomials, splines, ...
   Linear Algebra: equations and eigensystems, both dense and sparse.
   Transcendental and polynomial equation solvers.
   Quadrature
   Differential Equation solvers
   Fast Fourier Transforms
   2D and 3D graphics.
   PDE systems.
   High precision floating point arithmetic.
   etc.

Any help is gratefully appreciated.
