IMSL (International Mathematics and Statistics Library) is a commercial collection of software libraries of numerical analysis functionality that are implemented in the computer programming languages of C, Java, C#.NET, and Fortran. A Python interface is also available.
The IMSL Libraries are provided by Visual Numerics Inc. Visual Numerics also provides PV-WAVE, a Fourth-generation programming language (4GL) visual data analysis development environment.
In 2009, Rogue Wave Software acquired Visual Numerics.
Version History and Current Releases
The first IMSL Library for the Fortran language was released in 1970, followed by a C language version originally called C/Base in 1991, a Java language version in 2002 and the C# language version in 2004.
Several recent product releases have involved making IMSL Library functions available from Python. These releases are Python wrappers to IMSL C Library functions (PyIMSL wrappers) and PyIMSL Studio, a prototyping and production application development environment based on Python and the IMSL C Library. The PyIMSL wrappers were first released in August 2008. PyIMSL Studio was introduced in February 2009. PyIMSL Studio is available for download at no charge for non-commercial use or for commercial evaluation.
Current versions:
- IMSL C Library V 7.0 - November 2008
- PyIMSL Studio V 1.5 - August 2009
