Visual Numerics® Wins a Scientific Computing & Instrumentation
2005 Product of the Year Award
JMSL™ Numerical Library Wins Mathematics Category
SAN RAMON, Calif. – January 10, 2006
– Visual Numerics, Inc., celebrating 35 years of producing
leading numerical analysis and visualization software, today
announced that its JMSL™ Numerical Library version 3.0
for Java has been honored as the 2005 Product of the Year award
winner in the Mathematics category by the readers and editorial
board of Scientific Computing & Instrumentation magazine. The
2005 award winners, announced in the December 2005 issue, were
chosen based on an assessment and tracking of popular products
among readers throughout a 12-month period. Feedback solicited
from the editorial board helped solidify the readers' selections.
"When we are honored with a reader's choice award, we know we're
moving in the right direction and giving our business, technical,
and scientific audiences the right data analysis tools to solve
complex industry problems," said Phil Fraher, president and CEO
of Visual Numerics. "We are thrilled about being named one of
Scientific Computing & Instrumentation's 2005 product winners and
hold this accolade in high esteem."
As the only comprehensive, 100% Java numerical analysis package
available, the JMSL™ Numerical Library Version 3.0™
offers the broadest collection of mathematical, statistical,
financial, and charting classes and is designed to provide a fast,
scalable framework for tailored analytical applications, enabling
users in the fields of finance, business intelligence, bioinformatics
and life sciences to easily create customized applications for
data mining and predictive analysis of complex data.
In addition, the JMSL Numerical Library 3.0 includes neural network
technology that adds to the already broad selection of data mining,
modeling and prediction technologies available across the IMSL
family of products. The neural network technology was developed to
mimic human problem-solving processes by applying knowledge gained
from historical data to new situations, enabling businesses to build
predictive models that increase in accuracy as more information is
obtained. For example, companies can extract information such as
historical cost data and apply this data to the neural network to
forecast future costs with greater precision.
