 We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib.
 
-stdlib ([/ˈstændərd lɪb/][ipa-english] "standard lib") is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, data processing, streams, and more and includes many of the utilities you would expect from a standard library.

 While this project's installation instructions defaults to using [npm][npm] for package management, installation via other package managers, such as [yarn][yarn], should be a matter of simply swapping out [npm][npm] commands with those of the relevant package manager.
