This is an on going work in C++ although I’ll also be writing about an implementation I wrote in Python and a discussion of why I no longer use it for large calculations. During this process I have also taught myself to use git and in particular GitHub. So if you are interested in being ahead of my posts here is my GitHub and in particular this project.
