The @racketmodname[math] library provides functions and data structures useful
|
|
for working with numbers and collections of numbers. These include
|
|
@itemlist[
|
|
@item{Additional constants and elementary functions}
|
|
@item{Special functions}
|
|
@item{@racket[Bigfloat]s, or arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers}
|
|
@item{Probability distributions}
|
|
@item{Statistical functions}
|
|
@item{Number-theoretic functions}
|
|
@item{@racket[Array]s for storing and transforming large rectangular data sets}
|
|
@item{Linear algebra functions}
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
With this library, we hope to support a wide variety of applied mathematics in
|
|
Racket, including simulation, statistical inference, signal processing, and
|
|
combinatorics. If you find it lacking for your variety of mathematics,
|
|
please contact us or post to one of the
|
|
@hyperlink["http://racket-lang.org/community.html"]{mailing lists}
|
|
to make suggestions or submit patches.

@bold{This is a Typed Racket library.} It is most efficient to use it in Typed
|
|
Racket, so that contracts are checked statically. However, almost all of it can
|
|
be used in untyped Racket. Exceptions and performance warnings are in @bold{bold text}.
