DESCRIPTION

       The math package provides utility math functions.

       Besides a set of basic commands, available via the package math, there are more specialised packages:

       o      math::bigfloat - Arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic

       o      math::bignum - Arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic

       o      math::calculus::romberg - Robust integration methods for functions of one variable, using Romberg integration

       o      math::calculus - Integration of functions, solving ordinary differential equations

       o      math::combinatorics - Procedures for various combinatorial functions (for instance the Gamma function and "k out of n")

       o      math::complexnumbers - Complex number arithmetic

       o      math::constants - A set of well-known mathematical constants, such as Pi, E, and the golden ratio

       o      math::fourier - Discrete Fourier transforms

       o      math::fuzzy - Fuzzy comparisons of floating-point numbers

       o      math::geometry - 2D geometrical computations

       o      math::interpolate - Various interpolation methods

       o      math::linearalgebra - Linear algebra package

       o      math::optimize - Optimization methods

       o      math::polynomials - Polynomial arithmetic (includes families of classical polynomials)

       o      math::rationalfunctions - Arithmetic of rational functions

       o      math::roman - Manipulation (including arithmetic) of Roman numerals

       o      math::special - Approximations of special functions from mathematical physics

       o      math::statistics - Statistical operations and tests

BASIC COMMANDS

       ::math::cov value value ?value ...?
	      Return the coefficient of variation expressed as percent of two or more numeric values.

       ::math::integrate list of xy value pairs
	      Return the area under a "curve" defined by a set of x,y pairs and the error bound as a list.

       ::math::fibonacci n
	      Return the n'th Fibonacci number.

       ::math::max value ?value ...?
	      Return the maximum of one or more numeric values.

       ::math::mean value ?value ...?
	      Return the mean, or "average" of one or more numeric values.

       ::math::min value ?value ...?
	      Return the minimum of one or more numeric values.

       ::math::product value ?value ...?
	      Return the product of one or more numeric values.

       ::math::random ?value1? ?value2?
	      Return a random number.  If no arguments are given, the number is a floating point value between 0 and 1.  If one argument is given,
	      the number is an integer value between 0 and value1.  If two arguments are given, the number is an integer value between value1  and
	      value2.

       ::math::sigma value value ?value ...?
	      Return the population standard deviation of two or more numeric values.

       ::math::stats value value ?value ...?
	      Return the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (as percent) as a list.

       ::math::sum value ?value ...?
	      Return the sum of one or more numeric values.
