Microcomputer Versions of IMSL and Related Software

The Information Techology Services (ITS) Customer Support Center in LVL Lower Commons (213.740.5555) distributes the microcomputer versions of the IMSL libraries and IMSL Toolbox. Currently, both the subroutine libraries and the IMSL Toolbox are distributed for the single IMSL package price of $200 per platform. On request, users purchasing the subroutine libraries also can receive a copy of the JMSL (Java) Numerical Library. All IMSL software is distributed on CDs which the user keeps.

Package	Version	Platform
$200 each:
C Numerical Libraries (Math, Stat)	5.5	Microsoft Windows XP/NT/98/2000, Visual C++
IMSL Computational Technology Toolkit (includes Version 5.5 C Libraries for several Intel Architecture [IA] 32-bit systems)	6.0	Windows (IA32), MSVisualStudio.net 2003
Available by request (no charge with purchase of either of the above Numerical Library CDs):
JMSL (Java) Numerical Library	2.5.2	all platforms running Java

Other versions of the IMSL Subroutine Libraries can be obtained by ITS upon request. The IMSL (Visual Numerics) Web Site has a table of products listed by Hardware/Processor Family, Operating System, and Compiler. If your Processor and Compiler combination is different from what is in the list above, please consult this list, and inform ITS of the IMSL Product and Part Number (shown in the list) that you need, and we will request a copy. The charge for that version will be the same as those above ($200.- per Platform/OS/Compiler combination). The IMSL Supported Computing Configurations table (a PDF document, viewable with Adobe Acrobat Reader) is at:

Instructions for installing IMSL under Windows are provided in a ReadMe.txt file included on the software CD. For convenience, you can access that file (and certain subsections of it) here:
