Some Scientific Subroutines in LISP.

Abstract

Document describes a LISP library of mathematical functions which calculates hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals, the gamma and beta functions, and the incomplete gamma abd beta functions. There are probability density functions, cumulative distributions, and random number generators for the normal, Poisson, chi-square, Student's T and Snedecor's F functions. Multiple linear regression, Fletcher-Powell unconstrained minimization, numerical integration, root finding, and convergence. Code to factor numbers and to do the Solovay-Strassen probabilistic prime test. (Author)
