The Foundation
Our purpose is to ensure unrestricted access to the bestcomputational tools for research and education in mathematics,science, and engineering. Our aim is to do this primarily byfostering existing efforts and communities.
J. Millman Foundation for Mathematical and Scientific Computing
Computing revolution
As research grows increasingly dependent on computing, itbecomes critical for our computational resources to be developedwith the same rigor, open review and access as the results theysupport.

Reproducible Research
sharing of scientific software, data and knowledge necessary forreproducible research
“An article about computational science in a scientificpublication is not the scholarship itself, it is merelyadvertising of the scholarship. The actual scholarship isthe complete software development environment and thecomplete set of instructions which generated the figures.”— David Donoho, Wavelab and Reproducible Research,1995
