Three.js: THREE.Math is now _Math, probably need a better name that doesn't conflict with built-in Math.

Description of the problem

We should probably figure out a new name for this class as without the THREE namespace, it conflicts with the built in JavaScript Math class.

Probably not a great idea, but why not use the British 'Maths'?

[GGAlanSmithee]

Here are som synonyms of math from google:

• arithmetic
• calculus
• ciphering
• computation
• figures
• figuring
• calculation
• mathematics
• number crunching
• numbers
• reckoning

Not very helpful though I guess...

Maybe we could have a few, more specific, classes and call them Math2D/Math3D etc.

How about MathUtils? (I've used that name before in similar situations.)

[msimpson]

@fraguada Not just British, but correct as well: "Math(ematic)s." But a vote for MathUtils, nonetheless.

[tentone]

Usually i would call this MathUtils (i actually do call it MathUtils in my IDKwGL library).

Just bump into this right now. I wish we could go back in time...
