             Summary: Patch: Faster implementation of double org.apache.commons.math3.FastMath.copySign(double, double)
                 Key: MATH-951
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-951
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2
         Environment: java version "1.6.0_27"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.3) (6b27-1.12.3-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

            Reporter: Charles Cooper
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.2


Between 40-50% faster than both current implementation and java.lang.Math.copySign by my (sloppy) benchmark. Patch below.
