LOG_NORMAL
The Log Normal Probability Density Function

LOG_NORMAL is a C library which can evaluate quantities associated with the log normal Probability Density Function (PDF).

If X is a variable drawn from the log normal distribution, then correspondingly, the logarithm of X will have the normal distribution.
