Yes. In addition, as seen at 
http://www.erights.org/javadoc/java/lang/Double.html , many of the static 
methods of Math have been turned into instance methods of float64 values in E.

    ? 3.2.max(2.3)
    # value: 3.2

In light of your message, I now notice a bug: I am currently using Math, but 
need to be using StrictMath in order to have a deterministic spec. 
Oops, I'll change that. Thanks.
