Nice. But the above code doen't seem to contain functions to find (or
approximate) all complex roots, which is the function I need (maybe with
special cases for linear, quadratic, cubic, since these can be done
analytically). The DSP package does, albeit only Laguerre's method, which
might be good enough, although my old C# code that I wanted to port
used Weierstrass
method

NumericPrelude is very impressive, but it scares me a little, since it is so
big :-)
