# mathematics

[altavir]

I am thinking about names and pronunciation. Currently we have kmath, which could be pronounced as key-math, which sounds good, and similar to ktor. On the other hand, we have plotly.kt which could be pronounced as plotly-kit, it is probably even better. Do we need to rename kmath to math.kt (kould be pronounced as math-kit), while it is not so popular and the name could be changed painlessly.

"kuh-math!"

[thomasnield]

I like math.kt

[thomasnield]

But kmath does follow Ktor convention.

[thomasnield]

I think its conventions with other Kotlin projects should be weighed heavily...

[altavir]

Yep. That is why I am asking now, while we still can change it. Math.kt has a benifit - it is obvious that we are talking about kotlin.

[thomasnield]

@altavir but make sure it doesn't conflict with any kotlin stdlib stuff

[altavir]

No conflicts so far. There is kotlin.math package in the core. I just want a common naming conventions for all projects.

[thomasnield]

This might cause confusion https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/stdlib/js/src/kotlin/math.kt

[altavir]

Maybe, but it is not class and it does not exist outside sources.

[altavir]

The naming convention with .kt works quite good in Julia (there they have .jl instead). When you need to find some library, you just add .kt to its name and here you are.

NumKy?

[thomasnield]

KNum

[thomasnield]

NumK

[thomasnield]

Id reflect and ponder it before rushing

[thomasnield]

KLAS

[thomasnield]

Klaw

[thomasnield]

NumKy sounds the catchiest, although it's a bit of a ripoff

[altavir]

No rushing here. We have months to decide. Not many users so far. I do not think that the name is critical until 0.3 or so.

[thomasnield]

@altavir I'm going to continue putting some examples with KMath together, so I'll be sure to share them as I hammer through them

[hudsonb]

I like math.kt, Ive been using that style with some recent projects (geojson.kt, turf.kt)
