[math] Adding MathUtils class, including binomial coefficients, factorials

           Summary: [math] Adding MathUtils class, including binomial
                    coefficients, factorials
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW

        ReportedBy: phil@steitz.com


I am attaching source for a new utility class, org.apache.commons.math.MathUtils
to house useful formulas, extending those that java.lang.Math provides.  Initial
contents are binomial coefficient and factorial methods.  For each of these,
three methods are provided, returning  

   * value as a long
   * value as a double
   * log of the value as a double

Limits on actual parameters for the first two (full value representations) are
specified in the javadoc.
