+Scalam is a scientific calculation utility library. It's main purposes and features are:
+- seamless conversions between standard Scala collections and high-performance numeric data structures from [breeze](https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze])
+- generation of matlab code for plotting nice scientific graphs
+
+Its reason of existence is mainly due to my subjective opinion that Scala is an elegant, expressive language but misses scientific graphing libraries whereas Matlab is a horrible language but features mature and accurate graphing capabilities. Scalam was created for analyzing data obtained in my physics labs. It is no longer maintaned. \ No newline at end of file
