This library is divided into several interconnected parts:
===Floating Point Utilities===
###Floating Point Utilities###
Utility functions for dealing with floating point arithmetic, includes functions for floating point classification (fpclassify, isnan, isinf etc), sign manipulation, rounding, comparison, and computing the distance between floating point numbers.
===Specific Width Floating Point Types===
###Specific Width Floating Point Types###
A set of typedefs similar to those provided by <cstdint> but for floating point types.
===Mathematical Constants===
###Mathematical Constants###
A wide range of constants ranging from various multiples of pi, fractions, through to euler's constant etc.
These are of course usable from template code, or as non-templates with a simplified interface if that is more appropriate.
===Statistical Distributions===
###Statistical Distributions###
Provides a reasonably comprehensive set of statistical distributions, upon which higher level statistical tests can be built.

A comprehensive tutorial is provided, along with a series of worked examples illustrating how the library is used to conduct statistical tests.
===Mathematical Special Functions===
###Mathematical Special Functions###
Provides a small number of high quality special functions, initially these were concentrated on functions used in statistical applications along with those in the Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions.

These functions also provide the basis of support for the TR1 special functions.
===Root Finding and Function Minimisation===
###Root Finding and Function Minimisation###
A comprehensive set of root finding algorithms over the real-line, both with and without derivative support.
Also function minimisation via Brent's Method.
===Polynomials and Rational Functions===
###Polynomials and Rational Functions###
Tools for manipulating polynomials and for efficient evaluation of rationals or polynomials.
===Interpolation===
###Interpolation###
Function interpolation via Barycentic or cubic B_spline approximations.
===Numerical Integration and Differentiation===
###Numerical Integration and Differentiation###
A reasonably comprehensive set of routines for integration (trapezoidal, Gaus-Legendre, Gaus-Kronrod and double-exponential) and differentiation.
The integration routines are all usable for functions returning complex results - and as a result for contour integrals as well.
===Quaternions and Octonions===
###Quaternions and Octonions###
Quaternion and Octonians as class templates similar to std::complex.
