The Apache Jakarta Commons Project has posted the second release candidate of Commons Math 1.0, an open source library providing many mathematical functions for statistics, random data generation,
linear algebra, root finding,
interpolation,
erf, gamma and beta functions,
arrays, factorials,
complex numbers, distributions, matrices, and solving linear systems.
It looks like it covers most practical math you might encounter at roughly the level of a typical undergraduate course in
mathematical methods for physics. Based on spot checks of the Complex class and the factorial function, this looks like pretty solid work. I don't see any of the usual mistakes I'm used to seeing in such classes. For instance, the MathUtils.factorial() method throws an
ArithMeticException if the result overflows the bounds of a long.
Commons Math is published under the Apache 2.0 license.
Werner Randelshofer has released the Quaqua Look and Feel 2.4, "an extension for Apple's implementation of the Aqua Look for Swing. Quaqua aims at fixing inconsistencies between user interface elements implemented in Swing and those of native Mac OS X applications. To achieve this, Quaqua selectively replaces UI elements of Apples Aqua Look And Feel with elements of its own." Quaqua is dual licensed under the BSD license model and the LGPL. Java 1.3 or later and Mac OS X 10.2 or later are required. Changes since 2.0 are fairly minor user interface improvements and bug fixes.
