This library works perfectly with OpenGL but it also ensures interoperability with other third party libraries and SDK. It is a good candidate for software rendering (Raytracing / Rasterisation), image processing, physic simulations and any context that requires a simple and convenient mathematics library.

This is unwise. There is every chance that are that if 'using namespace glm;' is called, name collisions will happen. GLSL names for functions are fairly generic, so it is entirely likely that there is another function called, for example, \link glm::sqrt sqrt \endlink.
