Automatically generate Clojure function proxies for java.lang.Math static methods.

Add this to your project.clj if you're using Leiningen:

[alandipert/mathemagician "0.0.2"]

Then, in the namespace you want math functions in:

(ns your-ns
  (:use [mathemagician :only (abs)]))

(abs -3) ;=> 3

Effort has been made to make the functions that mathemagician generates fast, but they're still about 5x slower than direct calls to Math methods.

If you need better performance, you can substitute your mathemagician function calls for Math method calls.

Thanks to Patrick Brown for the idea, Jon Distad for pairing with me on the initial implementation, and to the Durham Clojure Roadshow class for their participation.
