In this article, we look at defining custom numeric types in F#. We'll create a numeric type representing numbers in a clock artihmetic (with base 5) and we'll see how to define custom operators, numeric literals and how to support F# PowerPack matrices.

This article introduces the matrix type available in F# PowerPack. It discusses how to create matrices, manipulate matrices using indexing and slices and how to use built-in functions for working with them. As a running example, we use matrix to represent a graph using an adjacency matrix.

This article discusses two numeric types that are available in F# PowerPack - BigRational represents arbitrary precision rational numbers and complex represents (floating-point) complex numbers. The types can be nicely used from F# as well as from C#.

This article is the first article of a series where I'll explain some of the F# features that are useful for numeric computing as well as some functionality from the F# PowerPack library.

After a quiet summer season, it is time to look at the upcoming F# talks and courses. If you want to learn about functional and asynchronous programming, F# and more, you may want to come to our training (organized with SkillsMatter), tutorials or some community events.
