Universities Enhance Mathematics and Comp Sci Programs

Using Visual Numerics, five universities invest in students' analytical future.

Visual Numerics, Inc. (VNI; Houston, TX) announced that five universities have expanded their computational science education programs with commercially viable computational libraries and analytical tools from Visual Numerics.

Following the company's April 2007 announcement regarding its University Department Special Pricing for IMSL Numerical Libraries and PV-WAVE visualization software, the University of Virginia, College of Staten Island and University of Hawaii at Manoa in the U.S., as well as the University of Western Ontario and University of Waterloo in Canada, have registered for the program. For the remainder of 2007, Visual Numerics' University Department Special Pricing program will stay open to universities in the U.S. and Canada. Under the agreement, students can use the software for free.

Lack of funding often hampers universities from buying the best mathematical and computational analysis tools available for their classrooms. As a result, most computational tools used today in graduate schools and academic laboratories are limited in performance, robustness, and scalability, and are not equipped to teach students how to solve complex problems or develop sophisticated analytical and programming skills.

Visual Numerics' academic licensing program is still available today. For more information, visit Visual Numerics.
