The latest revision to a technical specification that defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical algorithm development includes newly ratified functions and lays the foundation for greater industry involvement. The Numerical Mathematics Consortium (NMC) technical specifications are for use in a variety of application areas, such as industrial control, embedded design, and scientific research. The update defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical algorithm development, and ratifies functions involving polynomials, vector analysis, and other functions.
