I'd be interested in reviewing any number theory additions to [math]. It
seems that the project has grown enough that it can branch out into number
theory as well.

Subject: ODP: [math] Prime numbers
Hi Phil,
Many thanks for the quick reply, and if there is no one else currently
working on this, I will be more than happy to get to know the convention
used in the Math package and add some number theory to the package.
Thanks,
Karol.

Hi All,
I am new to this mailing list and the development of the apache commons,
but I have just been going through the code of Math package, and couldn't
find any code that would be meant to do primality test. Could you tell me
if there is anyone else working on this right now or maybe there is some
reason why the Math package misses any functionality regarding prime
numbers?
Welcome, Karol!
This has been discussed before (see for example [1] - search the
archives for more) and you can see an outstanding item on the math
wishlist [2]. The answer is that no one has stepped up to
contribute this. As you can see, [math] is mostly analysis and
statistics now, with very little algebra (really just the linear
algebra required for the analysis applications) and no number
theory. If you are interested in working on primality testing, you
are most welcome to start. See [3] for some general information
about how to get started contributing.
