C# Random Number Generators
NMath from CenterSpace Software is a .NET class library that provides general vector and matrix classes, complex number classes, numerical integration and differentiation methods, minimization and root finding classes, along with correlation, convolution, and fast fourier transform classes for signal processing.
NMath also provides random number generators that generate random deviates from a variety probability distributions, including the beta, binomial, exponential, gamma, geometric, log-normal, normal, Pareto, Poisson, triangular, uniform, and Weibull distributions. This functionality can be used from any .NET language including VB.NET and F#.
The NMath library is part of CenterSpace Software's NMath Suite of numerical libraries, which provides building blocks for mathematical, financial, engineering, and scientific applications on the .NET platform. Features include matrix and vector classes, linear algebra, random number generators, numerical integration methods, interpolation, statistics, biostatistics, multiple linear regression, analysis of variance (ANOVA), optimization, and object-oriented interfaces to public domain computing packages such as the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) and LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage). All NMath routines are callable from any .NET language, including C#, Visual Basic.NET, and F#.
