25k is actually pretty cheap for this sort of numerical work. That's also licensing about a quarter of the entire library, regardless of how much your actually using.
To put that in context, 25k is roughly the fully loaded cost of a developer month, if they can do this sort of work properly.
Plenty of specialized libraries out there will cost you twice (or more) as much to acquire and a % on your shipped product.
Thinking of this as expensive is either naive, or just the wrong tool for the job.
