<section name="Commons-Math: The Jakarta Mathematics Library" href="summary">
<p>
Commons Math is a library of lightweight, self-contained
mathematics and statistics components addressing the most common
problems not available in the Java programming language or Commons
Lang.
</p>
<p>
Guiding principles:
<ol>
<li>
Real-world application use cases determine development
priority.
</li>
<li>
This package emphasizes small, easily integrated components
rather than large libraries with complex dependencies and
configurations.
</li>
<li>
All algorithms are fully documented and follow generally
accepted best practices.
</li>
<li>
In situations where multiple standard algorithms exist, a
Strategy pattern is used to support multiple
implementations.
</li>
<li>
Limited dependencies. No external dependencies beyond Commons
components and the core Java 2 platform.
</li>
</ol>

<subsection name="Nightly Builds">
<p>
Nightly builds are built once a day from the current SVN HEAD.
This is (nearly) the lastest code and so should be treated with
caution!
</p>
<p>
You can get the nightly builds from <a
href="http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-math/">here</a>
