- Abstract
- The second edition of the Guide to Available Matematical Software (GAMS) provides summary documentation of software available to NBS staff on a veriety of computers. The fifteen libraries documented in GAMS are: BMDP, CMLIB, (containing three dozen public-domain packages), DATAPAC, IMSL, INVAR, MATHWARE, MATLAB, MINITAB, NAG, PDELIB, PLOD, PORT, SLDGL, SPECTRLAN, STATLIB. GAMS is based on an extensive problem-oriented scheme for classifying software for mathematical computations including special functions, linear algebra, optimization, differentiation and integration, differential and integral equations, and statistics and probability. The document contains the classification scheme, a catalog of software organized by class, a dictionary of the software, library references, and an index.
