There's an Ada binding to the LAPACK library (all you can dream of
when you're thinking about linear algebra, in Fortran), available at :
ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/contrib/lapack-ada
You'll also need to download a few libraries and manuals, but
everything is explained in the README and INSTALL files. This is the
work of Wasu Chapanon.
Some people with strong Fortran background have recently showed
their interest in Ada 95 as a new language for numerical computations
: good software engineering capability and easy interface to existing
Fortran code (including support for Fortran convention on arrays),
plus a well defined numerical model. So may be some material in this
area will appear soon (I hope so ;-).
