Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-length: 634 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!
