Baljit Singh commented on GEOMETRY-50:
--------------------------------------
No objection. Thoughts on using {{Math.hypot}} for 3D: {{mag = Math.hypot(x,
Math.hypot(y, z))}}
Performance will not be so great on Java 8.
> Overflow in Vector norm and distance

> Key: GEOMETRY-50

> In Euclidean Vector classes (Vector2D, Vector3D), norm() and distance() rely
> on Math.sqrt(), which can overflow if the components of the vectors are
> large. Instead, they should rely on SafeNorm.
