- Humm, I guess you really wanted a US address...
-
- However. as well as FORTRAN routines, NAG also offer maths/stats
- routines in C, Turbo Pascal and Ada, plus C header files to make
- it possible to include FORTRAN routines in C programs - for
- mainframes, minis, workstations and PCs, plus a graphics library
- A
- for display and plotting.
-
- Specialised Libraries:
- DASL - data approximation subroutines for fitting data on two or
- more variables
- Finite Element - FORTRAN subroutines for solving finite element
- problems (you guessed???)
- SLICOT - FORTRAN - for control engineering apps.
- HSML - a suitye of sparse matrix routinesd
-
- MATHS and STATS Packages:
- Genstat - interactive general stats package with graphics
- GLIM - interactive package for fitting linear models and
- performing data exploration
- FortLP - linear and integer programming system for solving large
- problems
- AXIOM - symbolic solver with a hypertext system and graphics
-
- NAGWARE:
- f90 compiler - full ISO FORTRANM 90 compiler for workstations
- FTN90 - ditto for PCs
- f77 Tools - suite of FORTRAN programming tools
- VecPar_77 - interactive tool for optimising effiency on vector
- and parallel computers.
-
- I believe, but I'm not 100% certain, that NAG are on the net -
- try postmaster@nag.co.uk. If it fails, maybe I'm wrong!
