I believe the Boost.math toolkit mathematical constants are an extremely useful feature, yet it is extremely difficult to find. Every time I try to browse to it I try searching boost.org/libs, then try the math library page and cannot find the links at either of those locations. In fact, I'm not exactly sure how to browse to it and instead use saved bookmarks. I it would be worthwhile if there was some direct link or mention of it on boost.org/libs/math at minimum, and possibly even directly on boost.org/libs .

Here is the mathematical constants page I am referring to: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/ma t h_toolkit/constants.html

Any thoughts on this idea?

Cheers! Andrew Hundt

ISTM that the content is v. and quite frequently useful. And, of course, many thanks to the contributors here.

On http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_ toolkit/constants/constants.html , the text of the Uses and Rationale entries for two_thirds_pi and four_thirds_pi, seem to be incorrect to me. No?

Copy and paste is wonderful - but all too easily abused :-( Mea culpa :-(( Will correct. Thanks Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
