<section name="Apache Commons RNG: Random Numbers Generators" href="summary">
<p>
- Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators.
+ Commons RNG provides implementations of pseudo-random numbers generators that are
+ either faster or of higher quality (and sometimes both) than <code>java.lang.Random</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Casual use is as simple as:
+
+<source>import org.apache.commons.rng.UniformRandomProvider;
+import org.apache.commons.rng.RandomSource;
+
+// Instantiate a "Mersenne-Twister" generator with a factory method.
+UniformRandomProvider rng = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT);
+
+// Use it to produce a floating-point value between 0 and 1.
+double random = rng.nextDouble();
+</source>
+
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ For more examples and more advanced usage, see the <a href="userguide/rng.html">userguide</a>.
