NAG - Who we are and what we do?

Mathematics and technology for optimized performance...

The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) specializes in the provision of software for the solution of mathematical, statistical and data mining problems. These components, together with the visualization software and additional services that NAG offers, are used by companies and institutions in a diverse range of industries spanning the globe. They use them to enrich their applications developed to solve problems in disciplines such as financial analysis, science and engineering and in the fields of education and academia.

NAG was founded in 1970 as a collaborative venture combining the talents of many globally renowned mathematicians. In 1971 NAG developed the first mathematical software library, which, over the next three decades, has evolved to become what it is today, the largest commercially available collection of high quality mathematical and statistical algorithms.

The range of products and services that NAG offers has continually expanded. They now include statistical, data mining and visualization software, compilers and application development tools and expert consultancy and technology licensing.

NAG technologies - staying ahead of the game...

In today's fast moving, ever-changing, electronic world it is essential NAG software remains ahead of the market and meets client demand. Our software is used by some of the world's most influential organizations and critical business decisions are made as a result of computation by NAG software. NAG components span many computing languages, programming environments and hardware platforms, consequently we have the components that meet your needs irrespective of the platform on which you work. NAG's consultancy services expertise build on our expertise in developing software allowing clients to draw on NAG's world-leading knowledge of application building in turn giving their products competitive advantage.

NAG Partner Program - reaping the benefits of partnering with NAG...

Software organizations are increasingly finding a demand for modeling, forecasting, optimization, and data mining functionality in their products. When faced with the enormous challenge of developing and verifying their own analytical code to provide this functionality, they turn to NAG to deliver the solution instead.

Similarly, the world's leading computer hardware manufactures work closely with NAG to ensure that NAG software is optimized for their customers. In addition, they value the high quality of the NAG routines when testing their compilers. In fact, a number of the hardware manufacturers license NAG software and our expertise in developing their own core numerical libraries.
