<h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3>
<p>The Math project is a library of lightweight, self-contained mathematics and statistics components addressing the most common practical problems not immediately available in the Java programming language or commons-lang. The guiding principles for commons-math are:
<ol>
<li>Real-world application use cases determine priority</li>
<li>Emphasis on small, easily integrated components rather than large libraries with complex dependencies</li>
<li>All algorithms are fully documented and follow generally accepted best practices</li>
<li>In situations where multiple standard algorithms exist, use the Strategy pattern to support multiple implementations</li>
<li>Limited dependencies. No external dependencies beyond Commons components and the JDK</li>
</ol>
<a name="Dependencies"></a>
<h3>2. DEPENDENCIES</h3>
<p>The <em>math</em> component is dependent upon the following external
components for development and use:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se">Java Development Kit</a>
(Version 1.2 or later)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.junit.org">JUnit Testing Framework</a>
(Version 3.7 or later) - for unit tests only, not required
for deployment</li>
</ul>
<a name="Release Info"></a>
<h3>3. RELEASE INFO</h3>
<p>Math is really still at the prototyping stage.</p>
<a name="Committers"></a>
<h3>4. COMMITTERS</h3>
<p>The following individuals are the primary developers and maintainers of this
component. Developers who plan to use <em>math</em> in their own
projects are encouraged to collaborate on the future development of this
component to ensure that it continues to meet a variety of needs.</p>
<ul>
