Function: normal
Description: normal generates arrays up to eight dimensions of pseudo random variables with a standard normal distribution. the algorithm by box-muller is used.

Reference(s):

Usage: z = normal (d1 {, ..., dn})
Input:
d1, ..., dn scalar (number of elements in dimension 1 ... n)
Output:
z d1 x d2 x ... x dn matrix containing pseudo random variables with a standard normal distribution

Example:

randomize (0)    
normal (2, 3)
Result:

Contents of rnorm
[1,] -0.21293 1.9502 -1.4341 
[2,] -1.0078 -1.3052 0.69812
