sci name was reserved for future use:

The goal is to include only good consistent basic functionality 
for data/numeric/math/sci users:

1. Tensors - ndslice
2. Sparse tensors - future ndslice.sparse
3. FFT - fast & multidimensional & vectorized & pure D
4. BLAS - fast & multidimensional & vectorized & pure D
