title: Java library that has matlab equivalent functions
body: <p>I am looking for a Java library that closely mirrors matlab's Matrix functions and possibly other functions in the areas of polynomial interpolation, etc.</p>
  
  <p>If such a library does not exist I was toying with the idea of building my own but using an existing Matrix or scientific computing library to do the heavy lifting - if I were to do that which libraries would be candidates to serve as backends for such an effort</p>
