"Thread safe" can have slightly different meanings, depending on context, 
but if you mean "does Jama have state information that relies on globally 
shared data," the answer is "no," so it should be thread-safe in this 
regard.  There is a call to Math.random() inside the Matrix class, and at 
one point there was an issue with this in the  Sun 1.4.2 release  (see 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6362070) but I believe 
this has been addressed in subsequent versions.

Hope this info helps,
Roldan

Hi

I wonder whether the JAMA implementation is thread-safe.

I could not find a statetment on the website, but perhaps I have
overlooked it. Thank you for comments.
