2003-03-18: Initial Release

Math Utilities is ready to go!

These are a few simple programs I wrote to perform a few basic math functions. While doing school assignments, I'd always need to do some of these calculations, but found it painful to find them on my calculator. So, I decided to whip up a few simple C programs to do the calculations for me. I didn't want to be selfish, so I decided to share them. Besides, it's given me an opportunity to get better at creating proper makefiles and distributing my software for multiple platforms.

• logarithm - calculates the logarithm of some number of some base
• power - calculates some number raised to some power

Extract math_utilities-0.2.tar.gz to a directory of choice. Then, change to the math_utilities-0.2 directory.
Type:

	make
	su
	make install

This will install logarithm and power to /usr/local/bin by default. If you want to install it to another directory, simply type:

	make install 'INSTALLDIR=<installdir>'

replacing <installdir> with the directory of choice.

To see the command-line arguments and the version number, just run the programs without any arguments. Feel free to do whatever you want with the source code. Claim it's your own. Give it to some monkeys and see if they can come up with some improvements. Print it out and use it for TP! I really don't care!
