-## Random Numbers
-
-Random number generation in Julia uses the [Mersenne Twister library](http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/SFMT/#dSFMT)
-via `MersenneTwister` objects. Julia has a global RNG, which is used by default. Other RNG types
-can be plugged in by inheriting the `AbstractRNG` type; they can then be used to have multiple
-streams of random numbers. Besides `MersenneTwister`, Julia also provides the `RandomDevice` RNG
-type, which is a wrapper over the OS provided entropy.
-
-Most functions related to random generation accept an optional `AbstractRNG` as the first argument,
-`rng` , which defaults to the global one if not provided. Morever, some of them accept optionally
-dimension specifications `dims...` (which can be given as a tuple) to generate arrays of random
-values.
-
-A `MersenneTwister` or `RandomDevice` RNG can generate random numbers of the following types:
-[`Float16`](@ref), [`Float32`](@ref), [`Float64`](@ref), [`BigFloat`](@ref), [`Bool`](@ref),
-[`Int8`](@ref), [`UInt8`](@ref), [`Int16`](@ref), [`UInt16`](@ref), [`Int32`](@ref),
-[`UInt32`](@ref), [`Int64`](@ref), [`UInt64`](@ref), [`Int128`](@ref), [`UInt128`](@ref),
-[`BigInt`](@ref) (or complex numbers of those types).
-Random floating point numbers are generated uniformly in ``[0, 1)``. As `BigInt` represents
-unbounded integers, the interval must be specified (e.g. `rand(big(1:6))`).
