Java Math packages

[Silvere Martin-Michiellot]

Hi,

I have built up a list of Java Math packages. A lot seem to have
overlaping features, but I am not an expert. Since, I am not an
expert, I would like recommendations on what to use: I would like the
union of features but the intersection of packages, Imagine for
example that I would like to build up a general math API, or extend
the Java language.

I would like to find a combination of Java Math packages to have a all
in one/general pupose/ complete API to build other packages on top of
it: AI package, general science package. What packages should I
consider ? What is the useful combination ? What is the generally
acknowledged solution for people working in that field ?

By the way, here is my list of links (just for information). If you
know some more, let me know.

How about looking at:

1. GMP (if you rehost this ... it will be a big deal, but maybe someone has
done it)
2. MIRACL

Topics:

1. Numerical Analysis
2. Number Theory
3. Matrix Algebra
4. DEQ Solvers

HTH, Flip

Hu ? What do you mean ? rehost ?

I am not trying to write a package, I want to know what Java extension
package for Math is/are good (in cse many are needed). I want answers
from users.

I am working on JSci.sourceforge.net. if you developed GMP (is it in C
?) and want to drop your package or move to Java then may be, yes, we
can help.

2. MIRACL

Same as above.
BTW, MIRACL is C, I was talking about Java. Doesn't anyone here use
java ???

As in create a Java implementation of it. It's written in C currently
and there are builds for a variety of operating systems.
