[MATH] corrupted char in Javadoc comment

FastMath.java:1008 says:

     *  for extra precision (i.e. exp(x) = result[0] ° result[1]

The operator symbol is mangled (probably due to conversion between encodings).

I'm not sure what the operator should be - dot product perhaps?

To avoid further corruption, ideally the symbol should be replaced by
the appropriate HTML entity, or failing that, the numeric entity.

The closest I could find for the original character was the degree
symbol, which looks a bit like the dot operator ...

Hi Sebb,

It should have been a +. I have fixed this.

Thanks
