No they're not, and what serialhex was asking about is completely =
reasonable. Numpy is a
C-based Python library that provides high-speed math operations of all =
sorts. Since Python and
Ruby 1.9 are quite comparable in terms of performance, it's not at all =
unreasonable
to ask if a counterpart to numpy exists for Ruby. Your dismissal is =
unwarranted.

http://narray.rubyforge.org/ is an old library that handles matrix and =
vector operations.
It doesn't offer all of numpy's options. Unfortunately, there are few =
alternatives for Ruby.
