-Commons-Math 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>
