There are several generally useful math procedures but I'm not sure where to put them.

gaussian distribution function

Add more as they come up, and we'll eventually get some ideas.

Statistical Shortcomings in Standard Math Libraries (And How To Fix Them) by Evan Miller recommends 8 functions.

Thanks for the very useful links. We already have a few math.* modules so I was thinking under that umbrella.
