Matrix<LIB> is a Matlab Compatible C++ Matrix
Class Library, designed for development of advanced scientific high-level
C++ code. Our main design objective was to keep the C++ source code
clear and similar to the equivalent Matlab code, making your shift from
Matlab to C++ easier. If you know how to program Matlab, you
already know how to use our Matrix<LIB> C++ Math Library. The code
was carefully optimized for maximal performance, too. Matrix<LIB> is
also included in the MATCOM V2 distribution.
The library includes complex math, binary and unary operators,
powerful indexing capabilities, signal processing, file I/O, linear
algebra, string operations and graphics. Over 300 mathematical
functions are included in Matrix<LIB>.
MS Windows and many Unix platform are supported with a variety
of C++ compilers. An evaluation version (fully functional, 30
days limited) is available for free download from our
web site.
Distribution media:
Internet (WWW).
Licensing policy:
From single license to site license. Contact The
MathTools for details.
OS provisions:

Product support:
A fast product support is given by EMail only. The
support section in the web page give immediate access to a wealth of
resources, technical support, answers to frequently asked questions,
technical documents and more.
Extra features and add-ons:
MathTools Accelerator: provides
significant performance gains for Matrix<LIB> programs using
Linear Algebra and matrix multiplication, on a Pentium with the
Visuall C++ compiler.
The library does lossless compression and consists of
compression, an extraction, and an error checking routine. To
maintain flexibility and keep the library's code size at a minimum, the
PKWARE Data Compression Library does not create .ZIP compatible
archives.
