<title>Commons Math: The Apache Commons Mathematics Library</title>
</properties>
<body>
<section name="Commons Math: The Apache Commons 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 platform (at least Java 1.3 up to
version 1.2 of the library, at least Java 5 starting with version
2.0 of the library).
</li>
</ol>
