C# Class Landis.BDA.NormalRandomVar

Random number generator with a normal distribution.

Uses outward Cartesian form of the Box-Muller method [1958] as described in "Anisotropic density & yet another Box Muller", Marijke van Gans, 15 Dec 2004, available on-line at: http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/marijke/bm/yabm.html Box, G. E. P., Muller, M. E., 1958. Notes on the generation of random normal deviates. Annals Math. Stat. 29 pp 610-11. All the instances of this class share the uniform random number generator in the Landis.Util.Random class.
