Unity.Mathematics is a C# math library providing vector types (float2, float3, float4, etc.) and math functions with an HLSL/GLSL-like syntax. It is used by Unity's Burst compiler to generate highly optimized SIMD native code across platforms.

Use cases

• perform vector math in C# with shader-like syntax
• write SIMD-optimized math code compiled by Burst
• use float3/float4 vector types in Unity DOTS projects
• port HLSL/GLSL math logic to C#
• do dot products, normalization, and matrix math in games
• write high-performance graphics and simulation code in C#

When to choose

• you are developing with Unity, especially DOTS or Burst
• you want a graphics/shader-style math API in C#
• you need SIMD-optimized vector math across platforms

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose .NET math library outside Unity
• you prefer System.Numerics object-oriented vector API
• you cannot tolerate breaking API changes, as the API is still evolving
