[Boost-users] Class template normal_distribution. What is the actually mapping function?

30 Jan 2007

      Does anyone know what is the actual mapping function used by the
 to map uniform random into the
normal distribution?  While I suspect it is the Marsaglia's ziggurat
algorithm I need to know for certain and I can not find the details on
the BOOST site.

Thanks in advance for any help.
