Fortran has long been the mother-tongue of the scientific community. This note looks at the C programming languagefrom the viewpoint of numerical computing with the emphasis placed on econometricapplications. C can be used as a replacement for other lower level programming languages, and also a replacement or as a complement to higher level matrix programming languages such as GAUSS, MATLAB, Ox, and S-PLUS.
