Programming tutorial giving a thorough explanation of
MathLink, the mechanism enabling higher-level communication between
Mathematica and external programs. Introduces basic concepts and explains the fundamentals of
MathLink templates and its data transfer model. Also provides source code for a wide range of practical applications, giving the reader the opportunity to adapt the code to suit their own practical needs. Assumes prior knowledge of
Mathematica and the C language.
