Maxwell solvers

• OpenMaX OpenSource Maxwell solver package, containing latest version of MMP, FDTD, GUI, etc.
• MaX-1 older Maxwell solver package, published by John Wiley & Sons
• MMP original Multiple Multipole Programs (2D and 3D) for computational electromagnetics

Numerical optimizers

• GGP Generalized Genetic Programming  for symbolic regrssion, time series prediction, etc.
• OPT Stochastic Optimization Tools ( includes Evolutionary Strategies, Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimizations, Simulated Annealing, Random Search, and Randomized Downhill Simplex)
