NAME
|
|
exp - exponential function
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
exp(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x real or complex
|
|
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return real or complex
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Approximate the exponential function of x by a multiple of epsilon,
|
|
the error having absolute value less than 0.75 * eps.
|
|
If n is a positive integer, exp(x, 10^-n) will usually be
|
|
correct to the n-th decimal place, which, for large positive x
|
|
will give many significant figures.
|
