For those who don't code, or those who have offspring, friends, relatives, colleagues etc. who want to dip their toe - take a squiz at http://csedweek.org/[^]
"It's a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code" and show that anyone can learn the basics to be a maker, a creator, an innovator."
For teachers ....
"Learn to code - from Mark Zuckerberg and Angry Birds
Code.org will provide tutorials for any browser, tablet, phone, even unplugged. Our own tutorial will feature Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies. We’ll share a preview for feedback in early-November.
Win laptops or a video chat with Bill Gates for your class
50 schools who organize an Hour of Code for the entire school will win a class-set of laptops. 50 more will win video chats with Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, or other tech leaders. So far, we have 990 "entire school" submissions. You can see the list of schools at http://csedweek.org/events/schools[^]. In some states, your school will be the first to sign up, making your chances of winning exceptional. The deadline is Nov. 15, so register now. More info about prizes can be found at http://csedweek.org/prizes[^]. "

I'm planning to convert/rewrite an old (VB6/C++) application to C#/WPF as part of a proposal for a new hardware platform for use in a different application area.
The existing algorithms' code (the important parts, in my opinion) was converted from Matlab, using a third-party C++ library.
Can anyone offer any experience/comments/suggestions on Matrix/Linear Algebra packages for .NET (C#)?
Either open-source or paid.
Thanks in advance.
I couldn't figure out in which forum what the best place to post this question. And CP doesn't have a Forum to ask "which forum?"

Yes we do: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]

It seemed like asking a question in "quick answers" about which "discussion" forum to post a question seems awfully round-about.
And this seemed to be more of a forum question than a "quick answers" question...

It probably gets a touch more recursive than necessary, but it keeps people out of trouble...

That would depend on who is answering

If you would go with open source I have a counter question, how precise must it be... Is double enough or do you need decimal etc.
And how much functionallity do you need?
|
|
|
|
|
double is fine
matrices and vectors
QR, LU, SVD, eigenvalue decompositions
dfft (double and complex, forward and inverse)
(and probably a few others I can't determine quickly...)
I've found ILNumerics, Math .NET, FinMath, Meta.Numerics, IMSL Numerical Libraries (RogueWave).
Interested in experiance/opinions on these as well.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, thats quite a list, more than you could easily do yourself. I havent really got a need for all of those functions but there is always Numerical Recipies in C++ and Practicla Numerical Methods in C#, but I dont think they have all that in matrix form?

I find Math.NET to be the Platinum Standard for .NET math libraries.

You might want to have a look at:
MaNet: A matrix library for .NET (Rational Computing 2)[^]
I can't compare it Math.Net, (except for to say there's an s missing somewhere).
It doesn't do everything, I seem to remember that it lacks a few things, Kronecker Sum and Direct Sum come to mind (but you'd have to check).

When I was a little kid, a couple of years ago, we all had to get a polio vaccine shot when we started school. That shot left a distinctive scar on the upper arm that lasts a lifetime. Why?
We got lots of shots; why don't we all have huge, puckered scars all over our butts from the penicillin, and tetanus, and assorted other things they stabbed us with? What made that one shot so different?
Will Rogers never met me.

Apparently, because it isn't the polio shot: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=622394[^] -
Other sites agree: it was the Smallpox vaccine and it left a scar because it was a live virus (Cowpox) rather than a deactivated virus.
Be glad you have it: smallpox was right b*st*rd!

I believe the proper term is attenuated virus.............if you want to be a jerk about it!

Not particularly!
I'm no doctor, but the Smallpox story is just incredible. One of the nastiest diseases we knew of (30% mortality, horrible disfigurement and blindness likely if you survived - very infectious as well.) It's the only disease we have managed to remove completely from the wild via vaccination. It's estimated that over 300 million people died of smallpox in the 20th century, and Edward Jenner probably saved more lives than any other single individual in history!
