Thanks to these helpful comments, John Maddock has reorganized the structure of all the Math
documentation.

A reorganised version draft is at 

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/math/libs/math/doc/html/index.html

Table of Contents

1. Overview
2. Statistical Distributions and Functions
3. Special Functions
4. Floating Point Utilities
5. TR1 and C99 external "C" Functions
6. Mathematical Constants                      <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  Constants now get a Page One
billing!
7. Complex Number Functions
8. Quaternions
9. Octonions
10. Integer Utilities (Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple)
11. Internals (Series, Rationals and Continued Fractions, Root Finding, Function Minimization,
Testing and Development Tools) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  useful Root-Finding tools exposed to public
view too
12. Use with User-Defined Floating-Point Types
13. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc
14. Performance
15. Backgrounders
16. Library Status
17. Indexes

Any feedback on this?  (while we are crossing Is and dotting Ts ;-)
