All math functions and distributions are in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">namespace</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span></code>
</p>
<p>
So, for example, the Students-t distribution template in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">namespace</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span></code> is
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">RealType</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">students_t_distribution</span>
</pre>
<p>
and can be instantiated with the help of the reserved name <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">students_t</span></code>(for
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">RealType</span> <span class="keyword">double</span></code>)
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">students_t_distribution</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">students_t</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="identifier">student_t</span> <span class="identifier">mydist</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">10</span><span class="special">);</span>

</tr>
<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
Some distribution names are also used in std random library, so to avoid
the risk of ambiguity it is better to make explicit using declarations, for
example: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">students_t_distribution</span></code>

<p>
Functions not intended for use by applications are in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">detail</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
Functions that may have more general use, like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">digits</span></code>
(significand), <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">max_value</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">min_value</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">epsilon</span></code> are in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tools</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
<a class="link" href="../policy.html" title="Chapter&#160;14.&#160;Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy</a> and configuration information is in namespace
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">policies</span></code>.
</p>
<div class="tip"><table border="0" summary="Tip">

Many code snippets assume implicit namespace(s), for example, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span></code> or
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span></code>.
