+<longdescription lang="en">
+ Minpack includes software for solving nonlinear equations and
+ nonlinear least squares problems. Five algorithmic paths each
+ include a core subroutine and an easy-to-use driver. The algorithms
+ proceed either from an analytic specification of the Jacobian matrix
+ or directly from the problem functions. The paths include facilities
+ for systems of equations with a banded Jacobian matrix, for least
+ squares problems with a large amount of data, and for checking the
+ consistency of the Jacobian matrix with the functions.
+ This is the C re-write of the original fortran minpack
+ implementation.
