[para]
The [package math] package provides utility math functions.
[para]
Besides a set of basic commands, available via the package [emph math],
there are more specialised packages:
[list_begin itemized]
[item]

functions of one variable, using Romberg integration
[item]
[package math::calculus] - Integration of functions, solving ordinary
differential equations
[item]
[package math::combinatorics] - Procedures for various combinatorial
functions (for instance the Gamma function and "k out of n")
[item]
[package math::complexnumbers] - Complex number arithmetic
[item]
[package math::constants] - A set of well-known mathematical
constants, such as Pi, E, and the golden ratio
[item]

[section "BASIC COMMANDS"]
[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::math::cov] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the coefficient of variation expressed as percent of two or
more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::integrate] [arg {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.
[call [cmd ::math::fibonacci] [arg n]]
Return the [arg n]'th Fibonacci number.
[call [cmd ::math::max] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the maximum of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::mean] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the mean, or "average" of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::min] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the minimum of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::product] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the product of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::random] [opt [arg value1]] [opt [arg 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 [arg value1]. If two
arguments are given, the number is an integer value between
[arg value1] and [arg value2].
[call [cmd ::math::sigma] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the population standard deviation of two or more numeric
values.
[call [cmd ::math::stats] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (as
percent) as a list.
[call [cmd ::math::sum] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the sum of one or more numeric values.

[section {BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK}]
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain
bugs and other problems.
Please report such in the category [emph math] of the
[uri {http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883} {Tcllib SF Trackers}].
Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either
package and/or documentation.
