JLS, Chapter 6. Names 
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-6.html>:

| We recommend these conventions for use in all programs written in
| the Java programming language. However, these conventions should
| not be followed slavishly if long-held conventional usage
| dictates otherwise. So, for example, the sin and cos methods of
| the class java.lang.Math have mathematically conventional names,
| even though these method names flout the convention suggested
| here because they are short and are not verbs.
