(suggestion):math.random() : precision for doc, + seed

[FabriceNeyret]

is your random based on the JS random, or do you implement your own algorithm ?
in the later case:

• It means that it behaves the same way on all browsers, which is a big plus, that should be mentioned in the doc.
• Then it would be useful to mention which RNG is used.
• Then you could implement a really missing feature: setting the seed (or did I missed it ?)

thanks !

mathjs uses the seed-random library under the hood. You can configure the seed using

math.config({ randomSeed: ... })

cool ! any idea which RNG this lib is using ?

-> in the doc, section random, I suggest to add these crucial info that a lot are seeking for:

• random algo is identical on all browsers/OS, not like the JS native one
• can be seeded (cf math.config)
• the RNG name, if you have

thanks !

Makes sense to improve the docs. Are you able to create a pull request improving the docs @FabriceNeyret?
