The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library

The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library consists of two separate but coordinated Libraries that allow easy user access. These Libraries are organized as follows:

MATH/LIBRARY general applied mathematics and special functions

The User’s Guide for IMSL MATH/LIBRARY has two parts:

MATH/LIBRARY

MATH/LIBRARY Special Functions

STAT/LIBRARY statistics

Most of the routines are available in both single and double precision versions. Many routines for linear solvers and eigensystems are also available for complex and double -complex precision arithmetic. The same user interface is found on the many hardware versions that span the range from personal computer to supercomputer.

This library is the result of a merging of the products: IMSL Fortran Numerical Libraries and IMSL Fortran 90 Library.
