The Numerical Mathematics Consortium (NMC) is a group of vendors and technical professionals working to standardize a set of core numerical mathematics. The Numerical Mathematics Consortium is committed to numerical algorithm development through open mathematical semantics standardization. The group focuses on core mathematical definitions, algorithm interchangeability, and function semantics. It does not focus on standardizing syntax for a particular mathematical language.
Famous quotes containing the words numerical and/or mathematics:
“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights—that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
