Creating and maintaining a mathematical and statistical library that is
|
|
|
|
|
accurate requires a greater degree of communication than might be the
|
|
|
|
|
case for other components. It is important that developers follow
|
|
|
|
|
guidelines laid down by the community to ensure that the code they create
|
|
|
|
|
can be successfully maintained by others.

Here is a list of relevant materials. Much of the discussion surrounding
|
|
|
|
|
the development of this component will refer to the various sources
|
|
|
|
|
listed below, and frequently the Javadoc for a particular class or
|
|
|
|
|
interface will link to a definition contained in these documents.
