History

Dr. Haksun Li is a computer scientist by training and has a strong background in mathematics (B.S., M.S., in Mathematics from ​the University of Chicago, M.S., Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering from ​the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). During his career as a quantitative trader/analyst in investment banks, he came across with a lot of mathematics software. The frustration was that the libraries/tools are written in ancient and arcane languages. Creating a homogeneous platform from these hybrid libraries to use mathematics in multiple disciplines is challenging. Moreover, understanding the source code is often difficult and modifying it is herculean if at all possible. Finally, one day, reading the FORTRAN/C version of ALGORITHM AS 288 has convinced Haksun that the world will benefit from having one common, standard and supported mathematics library in modern languages, hence the birth of Numerical Method Inc.

In 2010, Dr. Haksun Li, together with Dr. Ken Yiu and Dr. Kevin Sun, founded Numerical Method Inc. Haksun named the software SuanShu, after one of the earliest known Chinese mathematical treatises, ​算数书. The company is now a diversified team that consists of computer scientists, statisticians, applied mathematicians, etc. Many of our staff hold doctorate degrees and professorship from renowned universities.
