@section{description}
This pattern uses the Box-Muller transform to generate a gaussian distribution from uniformly distributed values:
@racketblock[sqrt(-2 * log(1.0.rand)) * sin(2pi.rand)::
]
@section{ClassMethods}
@section{method}
new
@section{argument}
mean
The mean of the distribution.
@section{argument}
dev
The spread of values around the mean (standard deviation).
@section{argument}
length
Number of values produced.
@section{Examples}
