     GAUSS 7.0:
     Desktop Engineering Pick of the Week

Dear Desktop Engineering Reader:

Many math and statistics packages are not for engineers. These packages cannot digest huge quantities of data, never mind model them. And, while fiddling with C or FORTRAN has its moments - such as when you get a perfect printout of all the verses to the song "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" - your core job is analyzing data, not developing programs to analyze it. But program you must because A) you secretly like to progam(as long as it does not consume you) and B) your stats and modeling package is really for small business accounting, not engineering.

This is where GAUSS from Aptech Systems comes in. GAUSS is a high-powered, easy-to-deploy matrix-based programming language for math and statistical modeling in engineering, science, and business predictive analysis. It's easy enough to handle quick calculations and powerful enough to model the millions of data points that Druid-class analysts require.

GAUSS version 7.0 has more than 400 built-in features and functions. It handles sparse data, spreadsheet data, and, yes, it can even import your favorite C and FORTAN programs. Best of all, you get the power you need and you still do some programming, only without the headaches. Click here to find out more about GAUSS.

Thanks, Pal.-Lockwood

"I appreciate Aptech's effort to improve GAUSS by soliciting input from users.  Being an old time `numbers cruncher' starting with IBM second-generation mainframe, IBM 360,370,  CDC6600,  Dec10,  SUN Sparc,  Cray super computer, Beowulf high-performance cluster as well as the lowly desktop, my top requirements for any mathematical software are `accuracy,' `speed,' and `user friendliness.' GAUSS, in my experience, meets these criteria in `spades.'  Keep up the good work."

"We use GAUSS because we consider it to be the most flexible analytical tool on the market. When I started developing a data analytic tool for the pharmaceutical industry, I decided immediately to use GAUSS. It has sped up our development time and vastly expanded the range of problems that we can solve. GAUSS really is the backbone of our software."

"We use GAUSS as the primary engine for a large financial analysis and stress-test model that we are maintaining for our client. The model code, which is written in the GAUSS language, allows our client the flexibility and functionality to perform various tests on its financial condition by altering a variety of economic, programmatic, and policy input assumptions."

"...GAUSS is the Jaguar of matrix programming languages. Fast, efficient, and incredibly powerful , GAUSS simplifies the task of implementing estimators and assessing their statistical properties. ... In short, GAUSS is a must have tool for anyone that needs to manipulate matrices."

"I have used GAUSS for over fifteen years. I began because extant statistical software packages lacked the versatility to deal with my computing problems. Although popular commercial packages have evolved, none meets GAUSS's performance at intensive number crunching nor GAUSS's standard for programming versatility. For the tough problems, I turn to GAUSS.

"Unprecedented in scope, flexibility and power."

"GAUSS is an example of true craftsmanship. For fast numerical computations, modeling, estimation or sophisticated statistical analysis, GAUSS is a tool worth having."
