Efficient Java Matrix Library (EJML) is a linear algebra library for manipulating real/complex/dense/sparse matrices. Its design goals are; 1) to be as computationally and memory efficient as possible for both small and large matrices, and 2) to be accessible to both novices and experts. These goals are accomplished by dynamically selecting the best algorithms to use at runtime, clean API, and multiple interfaces. EJML is free, written in 100% Java and has been released under an Apache v2.0 license. - http://ejml.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page https://mkyong.com/java/java-mod-examples

However, we didn’t get into account that newcomers needed to check on some things with the “old” developers. That hindered the work, and we eventually switched back to ~1 month rotation principle. - http://www.targetprocess.com[..]/how-we-handle-bug-fixes-and-rework.html Your team’s strength is not a function of the talent of individual members.
