List of numerical libraries
open-in-new
<p> This is a list of numerical libraries, which are <a href="/facts/Library_(computing)/xRzL3P7q">libraries</a> used in <a href="/facts/Software_development/UUfsAaYY">software development</a> for performing <a href="/facts/Numerical_analysis/QT9cYa9z">numerical</a> calculations. It is not a complete listing but is instead a list of numerical libraries with articles on Wikipedia, with few exceptions. </p><p>The choice of a typical library depends on a range of requirements such as: desired features (e.g. large dimensional linear algebra, parallel computation, partial differential equations), licensing, readability of API, portability or platform/compiler dependence (e.g. Linux, Windows, Visual C++, GCC), performance, ease-of-use, continued support from developers, standard compliance, specialized optimization in code for specific application scenarios or even the size of the code-base to be installed. </p>
