I’ve talked about IMSL on my pyIMSL post, which is a commercial scientific library. There is a GNU version of IMSL, GSL. Finding GSL is the courtesy of Jiangang, who was the author of the poster that I most liked from the 212th AAS, (see My first AAS. V. measurement error and EM and his comment.)

PyIMSL is a collection of Python wrappers to the math and statistical algorithms in the IMSL C Numerical Library[1]. I recall the days of digging in IMSL (International Mathematics and Statistics Library) user manuals and learning Fortran and C to use this vast library (Splus was to slow at that time). Upon knowing that Python is very favored among astronomers (click here to see the slog posts about Python) and that limits exist in Numerical Recipes (I didn’t check the latest version published last year, though), probably IMSL is useful for mathematical and statistical analysis for astronomers.
