CLMath: Common Lisp library of mathematical functions.

lang/lisp/code/math/clmath/
CLMath is a Lisp library of mathematical functions that calculate hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals, the gamma and beta functions, and the incomplete gamma and beta functions. There are probability density functions, cumulative distributions, and random number generators for the normal, Poisson, chi-square, Student's T, and Snedecor's F functions. Discrete Fourier Transforms. Multiple linear regression, Fletcher-Powell unconstrained minimization, numerical integration, root finding, and convergence. Code to factor numbers and to do the Solovay-Strassen probabilistic prime test is included.
