everyone.

What programming language do you recommend for mathematical programming in
.NET, then?

Well, I haven't tried the Fortran for .NET compilers, but they'd be an
obvious starting point. Here's one:

It really depends on how maths-heavy the code is going to be - I'd
probably *try* it in C# and see how painful it is to start with.
