Installable MathLink Programs
The Mathematica system provides a convenient way to call functions in external C and other programs. With a .tm template specifying Mathematica functions corresponding to each C function, you build a MathLink-installable binary using mprep or mcc. You can exchange not only C-like data types such as integers, reals, arrays, and strings, but also arbitrary Mathematica expressions.
