/**
 * <p>Extends {@link java.math} for business mathematical classes.
 * This package is intended for business mathematical use, not scientific use.
 * See <a href="http://commons.apache.org/math/">Commons Math</a> for a more complete set of mathematical classes.
 * These classes are immutable, and therefore thread-safe.</p>
 *
 * <p>Although Commons Math also exists, some basic mathematical functions are contained within Lang.
 * These include classes to a {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.Fraction} class, various utilities for random numbers, and the flagship class, {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils} which contains a handful of classic number functions.</p>
 *
 * <p>There are two aspects of this package that should be highlighted.
 * The first is {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#createNumber(String)}, a method which does its best to convert a String into a {@link java.lang.Number} object.
 * You have no idea what type of Number it will return, so you should call the relevant <code>xxxValue</code> method when you reach the point of needing a number.
 * NumberUtils also has a related {@link org.apache.commons.lang3.math.NumberUtils#isCreatable(String)} method.</p>
 *
 * @since 2.0
