We developed a set of histograms and other utility classes in this
course primarily for educational purposes but they can also be useful
for your own analysis work. However, you certainly don't need to
develop every Java programming tool yourself. There are lots of
class libraries for math, scienee, and other technical areas already
developed and many of them are available for free.
The Resources section provides
links to various online programs and libraries that support technical
program development. In Chapter
12: Physics section we described a number of the math and analysis
packages available for physics programming. Here we look at a selection
of packages that are useful for technical programming in general,
especially for charting,
