Hi,

I am evaluating RunRev for use in creating analytics-oriented applications. I have searched the forums for math and finance libraries but found nothing. Can someone please point me to information that speaks to the built-in math functions, or optional math libraries? Thanks,

Dondi.

THere is an annuity function you can use that will work for payment calculations as well as future value stuff, also compound and round, but i've been rolling my own quite a bit when i couldn't find what I wanted. Theres also acos function, atan function, atan2 function, sin function, pi constant..

edit: If you do a dictionary search for function, there will be less to wade through to find things of interest. Still lots, but less is a good thing.

There are also functions for calculating statistical deviation, exponentials, logs, compound interest, etc.

I'd suggest you download the demo version, and have a look through the dictionary to see if it looks like it has the kind of features you need.

Thanks Bernard and sturgis. The Dictionary is a great resource -- thanks for pointing it out.

I went ahead and purchased Rev Studio, now onto the learning curve!
