While at first thought it may sound strange to use both C and Fortran together, it is actually a method commonly used by scientists. If someone else has a subroutine that is proven to be fast and accurate, why write your own? In particular, with all of those mathematical function libraries out there, why avoid a particular function just because it is not in the same language as the one you prefer to work in. "A Scientist's and Engineer's Guide to Workstations and Supercomputers" has examples of and cautions about Mixing Fortran and C.
