Advanced maths functionality for Visual Basic
A
The Mathworks product story

Jan 5, 2001
The new Matlab library for Visual Basic offers more than 600 mathematical functions, significantly reducing the time needed to develop advanced applications
The MathWorks is introducing a new library that will significantly reduce the time needed for mathematical computation in the development of technical applications using Visual Basic.
With the new MatrixVB library, The MathWorks provides users with a stand-alone product that, for the first time, offers them powerful mathematical functionality within the Visual Basic environment.
The MatrixVB library provides more than 600 functions ranging from fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and singular value decompositions to random number generators.
These provide powerful extensions to Visual Basic in the areas of matrix computation, data analysis and engineering graphics.
The result will be a radical increase in productivity for the thousands of programmers who develop technical applications using Visual Basic in fields such as finance, communications, information technology and the chemical and automotive industries.
As a fully integrated maths and graphics library for Visual Basic, MatrixVB significantly reduces the amount of Visual Basic code required to create a complex application.
The easy-to-learn, comprehensive mathematical library not only minimises the need to learn and incorporate C/C++ code into Visual Basic, but can also improve the performance of some Visual Basic applications.
The mathematical functionality in MatrixVB has been written and tested by experts in mathematics and computer science, ensuring that users can develop mathematically intensive applications faster, more reliably and to a higher quality.
In addition, programmers can devote the time saved to developing more sophisticated programs than would have been possible previously.
MatrixVB offers Visual Basic users the ability to perform comprehensive maths and graphics functions that are not currently available in Visual Basic.
Routines include one- and two-dimensional fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), linear equation solvers, singular value decompositions, linear and quadratic optimisers, algorithms for polynomial fitting, functions for filtering and several robust random number generators.
Unlike the MathWorks' toolboxes, which have been designed as add-ons to the company's flagship products, Matlab and Simulink, MatrixVB is a completely stand-alone product that operates within the Visual Basic environment.
