Math Library for Java

About the technology author(s):
Abraham Ziv works in the IBM Research Laboratory in Haifa, Israel. He received an SM in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University and a DSc in Pure Mathematics from the Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology. The projects he was involved in include simulations of various types (for example, simulation of climate inside a greenhouse, optimization of masks for photolithography, etc.). He also wrote many routines for packages of math functions on various computers. His contribution to the art of writing such routines includes the publication of a method for fast evaluation of math functions in such a way that the results are always correctly rounded. He is also interested in numerical analysis, particularly in the theoretical research of methods for roundoff error analysis, and he occasionally publishes papers on this subject.

Moshe Olshansky is a research staff member at IBM's Research Laboratory in Haifa, Israel. He holds a BSc in Mathematics from the Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Statistics from Columbia University. The projects he was involved in include optimization of the Israeli water-pumping system, computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large sparse matrices, computation of ERIs in Quantum Chemistry, and several projects involving writing accurate and/or fast elementary functions for various architectures.
