The C Stat Library documentation is organized into chapters; each chapter contains functions with similar computational or analytical capabilities. To locate the right function for a given problem, use either the table of contents located in each chapter introduction or the Alphabetical Summary at the end of this manual.

Often, the quickest way to use the C Stat Library is to find an example similar to your problem, then mimic the example. Each function documented has at least one example demonstrating its application.
