   Frequently Asked Questions FAQ    1. I'm a
FORTRAN/NAG/SPSS/SAS/Cephes/MathCad/R user and I don't see where
the functions like dnorm(mean, sd) are in Boost.Math?     Nearly
all are provided, and many more like mean, skewness, quantiles,
complements ... but Boost.Math makes full use of C++, and it
looks a bit different. But do not panic! See section on
construction and the many examples. Briefly, the distribution is
constructed with the parameters (like location and scale)
(things after the | in representation like P(X=k|n, p) or ; in a
common represention of pdf f(x; μσ2). Functions like pdf, cdf
are called with the name of that distribution and the random
variate often called x or k. For example, normal my_norm(0, 1);
pdf(my_norm, 2.0);   2. I'm a user of New SAS Functions for
Computing Probabilities.     You will find the interface more
familar, but to be able to select a distribution (perhaps using
a string) see the Extras/Future Directions section, and
