<div class="block">This class implements a powerful pseudo-random number generator
 developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura during
 1996-1997.

 <p>This generator features an extremely long period
 (2<sup>19937</sup>-1) and 623-dimensional equidistribution up to 32
 bits accuracy. The home page for this generator is located at <a
 href="http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html">
 http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html</a>.</p>

 <p>This generator is described in a paper by Makoto Matsumoto and
 Takuji Nishimura in 1998: <a
 href="http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/ARTICLES/mt.pdf">Mersenne
 Twister: A 623-Dimensionally Equidistributed Uniform Pseudo-Random
 Number Generator</a>, ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer
 Simulation, Vol. 8, No. 1, January 1998, pp 3--30</p>

 <p>This class is mainly a Java port of the 2002-01-26 version of
 the generator written in C by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji
 Nishimura. Here is their original copyright:</p>
