It feels like I could not think of a good name.

I really do not think it is a good idea to end up with a bunch of math components in Commons. We have Commons Math, that component can have different modules if it wants to slice and dice itself. We could "shelve" math4 and have a math5 with all of the modules being discussed here and there.
