in the original GitHub fork: https://github.com/ntoronto/racket Some things about this are known to be broken (most egregious is that the array tests DO NOT RUN because of a problem in typed/rackunit), about half has no coverage in the tests, and half has no documentation. Fixes and docs are coming. This is committed now to allow others to find errors and inconsistency in the things that appear to be working, and to give the author a (rather incomplete) sense of closure.

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}.
