I'm curious about the methods used for random variable algebra in OpenTurns; 
that is, what are the mathematics / pseudocode used for adding/subtracting and 
multiplying or dividing Distribution objects? For example,
a = ot.Normal()
b = ot.LogNormal()
c = a*b

When calculating probabilities of failure using a limit state function, are 
there guidelines for when it is faster and/or more accurate to write the limit 
state function as an algebraic expression of the random variables compared to 
using FORM or SORM with a Function or NumericalMathFunction?

Thanks,
Phil
