     NAME
          fit, mersenne, parts - miscellaneous mathematical
          applications

     SYNOPSIS
          math/fit [ -ddeg ] [ -v ] [ file ]
          math/mersenne [ num ]
          math/parts [ -a ] [ num... ]

     DESCRIPTION
          A collection of simple mathematical utilities.

          math/fit
               Fits a polynomial of degree deg to a set of points (x,
               y) where x is the independent variable, y the dependent
               one.  All x and y values should be seperated by white
               space and can be real or integer. The values are read
               from file or standard input if none is given. The -v
               option prints a table of actual and expected y values.

          math/mersenne
               Tests the primality of the Mersenne numbers ie numbers
               of the form 2^n-1.  The argument num is the power of 2
               in the above.

          math/parts
               Calculates the number of partitions of the given
               number(s). The -a option will print out a table of the
               number of partitions of all numbers up to  the given
               number(s).
