Especially with the addition of parallel algorithms, it is clear that the header has more in common, and more shared wording, with the algorithms clause than the numerics clause. For C++20, it would be good to move the header and relevant wording into clause 28 (Algorithms Library), and rename clause 29 from Numerics Library to Numerical Types Library.

+1 cppreference has always listed numeric algorithms on its algorithms page

We like the direction suggested: move <numeric> to the Algorithms clause, and rename the Numerics clause to something that better describes its contents. LWG feedback is requested on this direction and on what Clause 29 should be named after the move.
