imath

brew install imath v3.2.2 BSD-3-Clause

C++ library for 2D/3D vector, matrix, and math operations with SIMD optimization.

Why you might care

Imath provides fast, numerically robust mathematical operations for graphics, game development, and scientific computing. It's widely used as a dependency in image processing and 3D graphics pipelines (e.g., OpenEXR). If you're building C++ applications needing linear algebra without heavy external dependencies, Imath offers a focused, header-mostly alternative to Eigen or Boost.
