  - ### Method Detail

    - #### hash

          public static int hash(double value)

      Returns an integer hash code representing the given double value.
      Parameters:
        `value` - the value to be hashed
      Returns:
        the hash code

    - #### hash

          public static int hash(double[] value)

      Returns an integer hash code representing the given double array.
      Parameters:
        `value` - the value to be hashed (may be null)
      Returns:
        the hash code
      Since:
        1.2

    - #### normalizeAngle

          public static double normalizeAngle(double a,
                              double center)

      Normalize an angle in a 2&pi wide interval around a center value.

      This method has three main uses:

      - normalize an angle between 0 and 2π:
        `a = MathUtils.normalizeAngle(a, FastMath.PI);`
      - normalize an angle between -π and +π
        `a = MathUtils.normalizeAngle(a, 0.0);`
      - compute the angle between two defining angular positions:
        `angle = MathUtils.normalizeAngle(end, start) - start;`

      Note that due to numerical accuracy and since π cannot be represented exactly, the result interval is closed, it cannot be half-closed as would be more satisfactory in a purely mathematical view.

      Parameters:
        `a` - angle to normalize
        `center` - center of the desired 2π interval for the result
      Returns:
        a-2kπ with integer k and center-π <= a-2kπ <= center+π
      Since:
        1.2

    - #### reduce

          public static double reduce(double a,
                      double period,
                      double offset)

      Reduce `|a - offset|` to the primary interval `[0, |period|)`.

      Specifically, the value returned is
      `a - |period| * floor((a - offset) / |period|) - offset`.

      If any of the parameters are `NaN` or infinite, the result is `NaN`.

      Parameters:
        `a` - Value to reduce.
        `period` - Period.
        `offset` - Value that will be mapped to `0`.
      Returns:
        the value, within the interval `[0 |period|)`, that corresponds to `a`.

    - #### copySign
