43 Using Mathlib from Prism Research
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MathLib is an object-oriented mathematical library of routines that is 
accessible to NS BASIC. It includes 2 libraries: a math library with 5 
constants and 52 functions, and a statistics library with 55 functions.

It's easy to use these functions from an NS BASIC program. Use the 
getLibrary() function to initialize the functions, then use them as you 
would any other user defined function.

Example:

10 rem demonstrate mathLib
20 lib:=getLibrary('math)
30 print lib.pi
40 print U.lib:BaseConv(3.14159,22)

run
3.14
"3.32BE"

Note that constants use a simple expression such as lib.pi, while 
function calls use the same syntax as regular user defined functions: a 
"U." in front of the function to be called.

To call the statistical library, use 'random as the argument to the 
getLibrary function.
