NAG Toolbox for MATLAB Accesses Library

By DE Editors

Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG; Oxford, UK) released the NAG Toolbox for MATLAB for engineers and others needing powerful tools for optimization, modeling, and simulation.

The Toolbox gives users access to more than 1,300 additional math and statistical algorithms within the MATLAB environment. This additional mathematical and statistical functionality was previously unavailable or accessible to MATLAB users only by purchasing multiple toolboxes.

NAG Toolbox for MATLAB provides access to the NAG Library, a comprehensive collection of mathematical and statistical algorithms that is used by many manufacturers, scientists and academies, among others, because of its quality and flexibility.

Benefits of using the NAG Toolbox for MATLAB include lower cost and convenience of a single cost-effective toolbox that would otherwise require the purchase of two or more separate toolboxes; access to NAG routines in the integrated and interactive MATLAB environment that makes MATLAB such a popular alternative to C and C++ for application prototyping; and increased productivity — NAG routines have been written by experts and are globally renowned, says the company.

Pricing for the NAG Toolbox for MATLAB begins at $2,490 for an individual license, with discounts available to existing NAG license holders. It is available for both Microsoft Windows 32-bit & 64-bit and Linux 32-bit & 64-bit and is compatible with MATLAB versions 2007a, 2007b, and 2008a.
