“Our industry has been lacking a unified and standardized mathematical foundation for a long time. Today, each tool offers its own specific set of functions with often steep learning curves, which require us to develop algorithms and skills that are not easily portable across the industry. These algorithms must be rewritten with new projects and new technologies, which ultimately drive our costs higher. A standard set of mathematical functions based on industry-accepted semantics would go a long way in creating portable skills and off-the-shelf libraries and tools that would be plug-and-play in various environments and help our bottom line.”

“With the industry-standard specification developed by the Numerical Mathematics Consortium, students can create algorithms that are compatible with common functionality in traditional tools and feel confident that their designs will work properly in other math environments. In addition, with an established numerical mathematics standard, I can ensure that my students are learning with the same tools and approaches that they will encounter in industry.”

“We value the opportunity for INRIA, which hosts the Scilab Consortium with 18 European companies and research centers, to collaborate closely with National Instruments and other leading organizations in the foundation and the development of the Numerical Mathematics Consortium. We are excited to collaborate with industry leaders and academic institutions in the Numerical Mathematics Consortium and work together to define the next generation of numerical math. Through the Numerical Mathematics Consortium, we can help ensure a standard specification for algorithm development that is necessary for industry and research today. The Numerical Mathematics Consortium will provide a mathematical community where idea and information exchange are supported by a common vocabulary.”

“Maplesoft is committed to the Numerical Mathematics Consortium. Connectivity and interoperability among leading engineering and mathematical systems such as our Maple product is essential for meeting the immense technical challenges of modern industry. Interoperability ensures efficient collaboration, reduction of errors in complex designs, and the computational framework for innovation. Maplesoft has historically been a leader in standards initiatives and through this Consortium we look forward to strengthening the effectiveness of modern applications.”

“As the company that introduced the concept of Calculation Management, we are pleased to join forces with National Instruments, Maplesoft, Scilab and other industry leaders in their efforts to bring the benefits of numerical mathematics standards to the engineering process. Managing engineering knowledge depends on interoperable standards such as those proposed by the Numerical Mathematics Consortium, and we look forward to being involved and helping to drive this movement from the inception.”

“We have worked closely with mathematics vendors over the past 20 years to connect LabVIEW with their mathematical packages. In doing so, we have found our customers face challenges with the lack of compatibility between the many numerical mathematics tools. Standardized numerical mathematics semantics will be immensely useful, and we are excited to join industry leaders Maplesoft, Mathsoft and Scilab in forming the Numerical Mathematics Consortium. This will ensure algorithm portability across math tools, giving our customers the flexibility to choose the tool that best fits their application needs.”

"We are pleased to be part of the Numerical Mathematics Consortium. Our CEMToolTM has been the leading mathematical and engineering software in Korea and we look forward to take part in the global mission."
