MathSharp
Note: As of 2022 MathSharp is not recommended for general use
Since its inception, the .NET intrinsics and vectors have increased in performance and functionality massively, and they are recommended for any new projects

MathSharp is a vector and matrix library written in C# using hardware intrinsics. Thanks to hardware acceleration, MathSharp is significantly faster than most mathematics libraries out there, but only supports .NET Core 3.0 and up.
MathSharp beats out all alternative for speed. Comparing it to the System.Numerics
types and the OpenTk.Math
types shows just how fast it is:
[All benchmarks were taken using BenchmarkDotNet on an i3-8350k at stock speeds with minimal background activity, with .NET Core 3.0.100]

for (var i = 0; i < waveInputs.Length; i++)
{
waveInputs[i] = Sin(Tau * Frequency * ((float)i / SampleRate));
}

Anchored Scale Operation
Operation
const Vector2 Translation = new Vector2(1.7f, 2.3f);
const Vector2 Anchor = new Vector2(1.0f, 0.0f);
const Vector2 Scale = new Vector2(7.0f, 3.6f);

Vector2 newScale = Scale * Amount;
Vector2 deltaT = Scale * (1 - Amount);
deltaT *= Anchor;
(Translation + deltaT) * newScale;
