Re: [boost] [Math] Does boost want constants?

I noticed one file (http://www.boost.org/boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp) asked for mathematical constants (pi, e, phi, etc) in boost.

Which constants other than perhaps those would the boost community want? Is there interest in a library of mathematical constants?

It also seems that there is no statistics library (i.e. functions to compute mean, variance, moments, skew, kurtosis, median, mode, quartiles, etc. from samples or histograms). Would the boost community be interested in these sorts of functions?

I think such features could be a nice addition to the Boost.Math library. -- Best regards, Andrey mailto:andysem@mail.ru
