Waterloo, Canada; February 5, 2007: Maplesoft launched the Maple-NAG Connector, in partnership with the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG). With this toolbox, users can combine the modeling, exploration, and application development abilities of Maple, Maplesoft's flagship product, with the power and breadth of NAG numeric routines.As a front end to the NAG C Library, Maple and this toolbox together provide an integrated environment to make code development easier. The toolbox eliminates compile times and provides simplified calling sequences and searchable documentation to the NAG routines.
The Maple-NAG Connector also enables the use of NAG routines in seamless combination with Maple's mathematical analysis and visualization tools." This unique partnership combining the mathematical and software strengths of NAG and Maplesoft will give users significantly more freedom and control," said Dr. Rob Meyer, Chief Executive Officer, NAG. "It is a strong embodiment of the synergy between numeric and symbolic algorithms."" Maplesoft's partnership with NAG provides a competitive advantage for users as it gives them the power to create faster, more reliable models and applications in shorter time," said Jim Cooper, President, Maplesoft.
Key features of the Maple-NAG Connector include:
- Easy access to the powerful NAG C Library numeric routines from inside the Maple environment
- Use of NAG routines anywhere Maple commands are used
- Fast prototyping and modeling environment provides quick results.
- Simplified calling sequences make coding easier.
- NAG C Library documentation is integrated into the searchable, indexed, Maple Help System, and includes hundreds of examples coded in MapleThe Maple-NAG Connector is very beneficial for those in application development, mathematical modeling, finance, life sciences, statistical analysis, and environmental sciences.
