NM Dev

NM Dev is a math library of numerical algorithms. It allows engineers to develop very high quality solutions for mathematical problems very rapidly. You will take less time to produce more elegant, object-oriented code that is better tuned, has fewer bugs and runs faster. NM Dev is an object-oriented, high performance, extensively tested, and professionally documented library of numerical methods. It is a large collection of numerical algorithms so coded such that they are ​solidly object-oriented, unified and ​testable. We have been writing numerical code for more than a decade since year 2010. Learning from our a decade of experience coding SuanShu (then popular math library now deprecated), we write NM Dev from scratch to make it even better in all ways.

NM Dev has for each mathematical concept a class, instead of a procedure like our competitors’ products. More importantly, these classes are designed so that they are very easy-to-use and easy-to-integrate. They can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct more complicated concepts, hence new classes. The built-in and user-defined, old and new, simple and complex classes all conform to the same design standard to ensure that they are compatible. NM Dev is to engineering solution as Lego is to toy model. NM Dev’s core technology is the design standard and this collection of classes. The goal is that the user, who has little programming experience or understanding in mathematics, can quickly put together these classes to create a solution for his complex problem. For him to assemble our classes to construct an application is as easy as a child assembles Lego pieces to construct a toy robot. Lego has simple pieces like bricks and gears and complex ones like mini-figures. NM Dev has simple classes like matrix and vector, complex ones like regression, and very sophisticated ones like PDE solvers. Using NM Dev, the user will find solving PDE not more difficult or too different from solving zero for equation.
