I have used STLport with a number of compilers in the past, including
VC6. I followed the instructions on www.stlport.com.

The STL was an algorithms library invented by Stepanov and Lee. It
also included some containers, and was developed at HP and SGI. It was
voted to be included in the C++ standard library, with some minor
modifications.

So the STL, in a slightly modified form, is part of the C++ standard
library, which also includes strings, iostreams, the C standard
library and various compiler support headers.

uBLAS from www.boost.org is probably good, though I haven't used it.
Otherwise take a look at www.oonumerics.org.

Seems correct, but very old news. Here's the best single C++ link I
know of:
