What do you miss in glm? Let us know why do you need math libraries, 
maybe there are simpler solutions to the problem. Here you may receive a 
piece of advice from knowledgeable people.

A very basic example is in include/gal/opengl/vertex_manager.h. Also the 
official webpage shows a few code snippets [1].
