You can load PolyMath 1.0.5 into a fresh Pharo 9.0 or 10 image with:

```Smalltalk
Metacello new
        repository: 'github://PolyMathOrg/PolyMath:v1.0.5';
        baseline: 'PolyMath';
        load
```

and the latest development version of PolyMath:

```Smalltalk
Metacello new
        repository: 'github://PolyMathOrg/PolyMath';
        baseline: 'PolyMath';
        load
```

We have **900** green tests ! At the moment, all the development happens in the master branch (we are using [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/)).

PolyMath is a Pharo project, similar to existing scientific libraries like NumPy, SciPy for Python or SciRuby for Ruby. PolyMath already provides the following basic functionalities:
- complex and quaternions extensions,
- random number generators,
- fuzzy algorithms,
- automatic differentiation,
- KDE-trees,
- Numerical methods,
- Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) solvers.

The authoritative book on PolyMath is available online: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PolyMath-book

Some documentation (work in progress) is available on the Wiki:
https://github.com/PolyMathOrg/PolyMath/wiki

Natalia wrote some explanation about benchmarking PolyMath in the Pharo For Enterprise Book: https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english/blob/ae40e7ab6f7651f6e7c271869eb1efc4e531e774/ComparingSolutions/ComparingSolutions.pier

To add PolyMath to your baseline just add this:

```Smalltalk
    spec
    	baseline: 'PolyMath'
    	with: [ spec repository: 'github://PolyMathOrg/PolyMath:master/src' ]
```
