{{Short description|Collection of software libraries}}

'''IMSL''' (International Mathematics and Statistics Library) is a commercial collection of [[library (computer science)|software libraries]] of [[numerical analysis]] functionality that are implemented in the computer [[programming language]]s of [[C (programming language)|C]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#.NET]], and [[Fortran]]. A [[Python (programming language)|Python]] interface is also available.

'''IMSL'''The (International Mathematics and Statistics Library (IMSL)''' is a commercial collection of [[library (computer science)|software libraries]] that provide a wider range of [[numerical analysis|numerical analysis functions]]. functionalityThese thatlibraries are implemented in the computer [[programming language]]slanguages ofsuch [[Cas (programming language)|C]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#.NET]], and [[Fortran]]. AAdditionally, [[Pythona (programming language)|Python]] interface is also available., making the library accessible to a broader range of developers and data scientists.

== Version history ==

The IMSL Libraries are provided by Visual Numerics Inc. Visual Numerics also provides PV-WAVE, a [[Fourth-generation programming language]] (4GL) visual data analysis development environment.

{{Update|section|date=February 2023}}

The first IMSL Library for the Fortran language was released in 1970, followed by a C -language version originally called C/Base in 1991, a Java -language version in 2002, and the C# -language version in 2004.

Several recent product releases have involved making IMSL Library functions available from [[Python (programming language)|Python]]. These releases are Python wrappers to IMSL C Library functions (PyIMSL wrappers) and PyIMSL Studio, a prototyping and production application development environment based on Python and the IMSL C Library. The PyIMSL wrappers were first released in August 2008. PyIMSL Studio was introduced in February 2009. PyIMSL Studio is available for download at no charge for non-commercial use or for commercial evaluation.

In 2009, [[Rogue Wave Software]] acquired Visual Numerics.
