More specifically, see the "DEC Ada Run-Time Reference Manual for 
OpenVMS Systems." In the February 1995 release (DEC Ada version 3.2), 
the math library is noted in Appendix C. For history buffs, in the 
equivalent manual for VAX Ada version 2.0, dated May 1989, the math 
information is in Appendix B. So, it's not like this is a new feature in 
DEC Ada, although of course it was only formally defined in the Ada LRM 
with the advent of the current version of Ada (Ada 95).
