Hi Gerry
A misprint in version 1.4 of the GSL
reference manual. In Section 19.23 "The Spherical
Distribution" it says to get random points on a
circle, chose u and v at random in a circle, then
x = (u^2-v^2)/(u^2+v^2) and y = uv/(u^2+v^2).
It should be
x = (u^2-v^2)/(u^2+v^2) and y = 2uv/(u^2+v^2).
You probably know who to forward this to, if
it hasn't been fixed already.
Merry Christmas!
Grant
