Maybe we should have a math library in ELPA, then it will be
less hesitation to just add stuff that is desired as we go
along, not having to argue what relevance it has to Emacs
per se as a piece of text editing software.

In general libraries for everything is a good way of not
having people write code that solves the same problems over
and over. Optimally what would happen is you would know where
to look for things and if it wasn't there, you'd write it _and
then add it to that same place_, so what happened won't repeat
itself for the next dude in the same situation.
