===== Summary =====

The Flex/Actionscript Math Library (as3mathlib), an update of the [[:wisASLibrary]], is intended to provide a numerical analysis toolkit for the Actionscript/Flex programming environment. 

This library includes support for 
  * Geometric Objects and Intersection calculations
  * Integral and Differential equation calculations
  * Bezier, Quadric, Polynomial, Complex, Vector and Matrix calculations
  * Symbolic expression parsing

===== Goals =====

Our two, no three primary goals -- our five primary goals are: 
  * Correctness: the library is accompanied by a complete set of regression tests.
  * Clarity of code: the routines are well commented and follow best practices of software engineering.
  * Modularity: In most cases users will need only a few routines out of the package.  To the extent possible, this should require bringing in a correspondingly small portion of the library.
  * Flexibility: A few, general, easily understood routines are more desirable than a comprehensive deathmarch through advanced numerical methods.  Think "[http://www.nr.com/ Numerical Recipes]", not "[http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ Lapack]".
  * Performance: Actionscript will never be a premiere [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing high-performance computing] environment.  With that said, the library should support prototyping applications calculations of modest scope.  Routines that don't meet this modest standard won't be included.
