Getting Started with the NEW NAG Library for Python

Find out more about the NAG Chest Agreement

Python is a high-level, multipurpose programming language that is used in a wide range of domains and technical fields such as Science, Finance, Electronic Design and Software Design.

Users want programming languages that are easy to handle, scalable, mature, high-performance, and coupled with ready-made libraries and components. Python is one language that addresses these needs.

Just as NAG provides solutions for C/C++, Java, .NET, Fortran and MATLAB users with its various Numerical Libraries, NAG provides the NAG Library for Python for Python programmers. With the increasing importance of Python, NAG has very deliberately invested in improving the NAG Library for Python which has made the product more Pythonic and much, much easier to use.
