The initial version was developed at the Space Telescope Science Institute by Perry Greenfield, Todd Miller, Richard L. White, and J. C. Hsu.

The existance of the original numeric package was a tremendous help in defining how a reimplementation should be designed. Although little of its code was used, it would be fair to say that the design choices made for how Numeric would appear to the user probably made doing a reimplementation twice as easy as it would have been since many of the interface issues were already solved.

We would be greatly remiss if we did not acknowledge the discussions with, ideas from, and work contributed to the original Numeric of the following: Travis Oliphant, Paul Dubois, David Ascher, Tim Peters, Eric Jones, Jim Hugunin, Konrad Hinsen, Guido (you know who) and the past Numeric developers.
