Sounds fine. But "... so I added them" sounds like it was a minor task which I don't quite believe ;-) > You may not be seeing much code that uses the math library because it's > still young.

If I end up using Racket for something serious, then I expect to publish it. But for now I am at the level of exploring Racket.
