Covered topics include special functions, -linear algebra, probability models, random numbers, interpolation, +linear algebra, probability models, random numbers, statistics, interpolation, integral transforms (FFT) and more. -Math.NET Numerics is the result of merging [dnAnalytics](http://dnanalytics.codeplex.com/) -with [Math.NET Iridium](http://www.mathdotnet.com/Iridium.aspx) and is intended to -replace both. It targets Microsoft .Net 4.0, Silverlight 4 and Mono, -and in addition to purely managed implementations will also support -native hardware optimization (MKL, ATLAS). +In addition to the core .NET package (which is written entirely in C#), +Numerics specifically supports F# 3.0 with idiomatic extension modules and +maintains mathematical data structures like BigRational that originated in the F# PowerPack. +If a performance boost is needed, the managed-code provider backing its linear algebra +routines and decompositions can be exchanged with wrappers for optimized native +implementations such as Intel MKL. + +Supports Mono and .NET 4.0 on Linux, Mac and Windows, the portable version also +SL5 and .NET for Windows Store apps.
