Hello,

I tried to find out which method is used by the boost library to transform random numbers from a random number engine to the Gaussian Distribution.

There are the Box-Muller-Method, Marsaglia's Polar Method and Ziggurat's algorithm out there, but i could not determine which of those is actually used by

boost::normal_distribution<double>?

I'd like to know which method is employed here.

Thanks for reply in advance,

sincerely,

Lars
