*DECK RGAUSS FUNCTION RGAUSS (XMEAN, SD) C***BEGIN PROLOGUE RGAUSS C***PURPOSE Generate a normally distributed (Gaussian) random number. C***LIBRARY SLATEC (FNLIB) C***CATEGORY L6A14 C***TYPE SINGLE PRECISION (RGAUSS-S) C***KEYWORDS FNLIB, GAUSSIAN, NORMAL, RANDOM NUMBER, SPECIAL FUNCTIONS C***AUTHOR Fullerton, W., (LANL) C***DESCRIPTION C C Generate a normally distributed random number, i.e., generate random C numbers with a Gaussian distribution. These random numbers are not C exceptionally good -- especially in the tails of the distribution, C but this implementation is simple and suitable for most applications. C See R. W. Hamming, Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers, C McGraw-Hill, 1962, pages 34 and 389. C C Input Arguments -- C XMEAN the mean of the Guassian distribution. C SD the standard deviation of the Guassian function C EXP (-1/2 * (X-XMEAN)**2 / SD**2) C C***REFERENCES (NONE) C***ROUTINES CALLED RAND C***REVISION HISTORY (YYMMDD) C 770401 DATE WRITTEN C 861211 REVISION DATE from Version 3.2 C 891214 Prologue converted to Version 4.0 format.
