#19 Math Chapter

[Anonymous]

It would be great to have a cookbook chapter on
mathematics.

1) how to do arithmetic with integers, floats.
2) difference between single and double percision
3) examples with integers and bignums,
how to implement infinite percision float with bignums.
4) matrix calculations with lists and with 2-d arrays,
sparse matrix calculations with hash tables
optimizations and declarations
5) transcendentals (not sure if this is useful because you
can easily look up all the functions sin, cos, tanh
exp etc...
6) Complex numbers
7) CLOS methods specializing on different classes of
numbers
