Re: Root Finding Package Name

Hi All: Sounds good to me. On the phpmath.com side, I changed the "Functions/Numerical Algorithms" folder structure to "Functions/Numerical" to jive with your choice. I noticed however, that I have a couple of "Number Theory" functions and it is possible that for some people "Numerical" alone would mean Number Theory. I loaded a couple of functions into the Numerical folder today (Lukasz bisection code and fixed point code). See todays news story at phpmath.com for more info on this and enlarging PHP's hardcoded list of math constants -math.h Feel free to use these functions in your own package or not. Lukasz has indicated an interest in this area himself and I have a moderate interest as well. Perhaps between us we can start collecting a useful set of classic numerical algorithms for distribution on both PEAR and phpmath. You are likely to run into the issue of whether to package your code as individual functions, function libraries, or classes. Jesus has mentioned that interceptors might allow us to aggregate code in a flexible manner. I personally don't have much time to work on this issue myself and have opted simply to have a math functions folder that is distinct from the other package folders.
