I don't know how aware you are of the tools we use for developing the "Commons
Math" library (part of the "Commons" project), so the following is only a
summary.
1. You should check out the development version of the code from the
repository managed by the "subversion" software:
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/trunk
2. Then you can modify the code, add new tests, etc.
3. You can run the tests using the "maven" software:
mvn test
4. When finding a bug you should report on the bug-tracking system:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH
5. You can create a patch of the modified code (with the bug fixed) by
running
svn diff > issue_777.patch
which you can then attach to the report page where someone will
hopefully pick it up, review and apply to the code in the repository.

> Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks for your interest,
Gilles
