Life scientists who develop applications in the Microsoft .NET environment and program in C#, Visual Basic, Visual C++ or F# can now incorporate methods from the NAG Library.
A new version has been developed specifically for that environment.
The NAG Library for .NET provides the algorithms developed by the Numerical Algorithm Group (NAG) in areas such as optimisation, curve and surface fitting, FFTs, interpolation, linear algebra, wavelet transforms, quadrature, correlation and regression analysis, random number generators and time series analysis.
The library also incorporates extensive documentation and references, and makes this available from the Visual Studio help systems, enabling users to fully understand the usage of the methods and to guide them to the most appropriate method for the solution to their problem.
Prototype versions of the NAG Library for .NET are already being used by a number of finance organisations, where demands for accuracy and rapid application development are key to commercial success.
It is available for Microsoft Windows 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
