Hi,

I would like to generate normally distributed (as opposed to uniformly distributed) random numbers in C++ - is there a library function that would accomplish this? I am using the g++ compiler that comes installed with XCode.

Hmm, you could easily write your own code.

Look at this page. It gives a formula for how to do it.

I thought about using Numerical Recipes, but thanks for the link!
