Namespace spl.math

This namespace contains components for performing mathematical computations.

The SPL math functions are a wrapper over the underlying system math functions, and are assumed to have POSIX semantics. For example, the sin function returns the result of the system sin function, with the same accuracy and results.

Functions such as random and srand have a "process-level" scope for internal state, which corresponds to a PE scope on Streams.

By default this namespace is in scope for SPL programs, so no explicit use statement is required to use them.
