About Dr. Michael Thomas Flanagan's Java Scientific Library.
Dr. Michael Thomas Flanagan's Java Scientific Library provides general Java classes for scientific and numerical programming. It includes classes for input and output, graph plotting, mathematical functions, physical constants, conversions, statistical functions, extreme distributions, and random number generation, along with arbitrary precision methods. The library is distributed as a flanagan.jar file (about 1.2 MB) for Java Platform 8 (compiled with jdk1.8.0). Permission is granted for non-commercial use, copying and modification without fee, provided the author is acknowledged. Commercial use, redistribution of source codes or the jar file, and public listing of source codes online are not permitted. The author has retired, so updates are infrequent, and the software is provided without guarantees of fitness or fault-freeness.
Key features
- General Java classes for scientific and numerical programming.
- Input/output classes for dialogue boxes, keyboard, files, and graph digitization.
- Graph plotting classes including PlotGraph, Plotter, and PlotPoleZero.
- Mathematical functions, physical constants, and conversion functions.
