L6A14 C***KEYWORDS GAUSSIAN,NORMAL,RANDOM NUMBER,SPECIAL FUNCTION C***AUTHOR FULLERTON, W., (LANL) C***PURPOSE Generates a normally distributed (Gaussian) random number. C***DESCRIPTION C C Generate a normally distributed random number, i.e., generate random C numbers with a Gaussian distribution. These random numbers are not C exceptionally good -- especially in the tails of the distribution, C but this implementation is simple and suitable for most applications. C See R. W. Hamming, Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers, C McGraw-Hill, 1962, pages 34 and 389. C C Input Arguments -- C XMEAN the mean of the Guassian distribution. C SD the standard deviation of the Guassian function C EXP (-1/2 * (X-XMEAN)**2 / SD**2) C***REFERENCES (NONE) C***ROUTINES CALLED RAND C***END PROLOGUE RGAUSS
