[math] support for discrete mathematics & number theory

2015-09-29 Thread Luca Vercelli
Dear developers, I think that commons-math lacks support for number theory and algebra. In particular, the "primes" package is quite poor, as it only supports "int" primes, where some "BigInteger" would be required when searching for large primes. Second fact, for algebra applications, Rings and su

Dear developers, I see some lacks in commons-math, w.r.t. number theory. In particular, the "primes" package is quite poor, as it only supports "int" primes, where some BigInteger can be required when searching for large primes. Second fact, algebra applications will prefer Rings and such instead o
