arcsin
~~~~~~
 *	Since  asin(x) = x + x^3/6 + x^5*3/40 + x^7*15/336 + ...
 *	we approximate asin(x) on [0,0.5] by
 *		asin(x) = x + x*x^2*R(x^2)
 *	where
 *		R(x^2) is a rational approximation of (asin(x)-x)/x^3
 *	and its remez error is bounded by
 *		|(asin(x)-x)/x^3 - R(x^2)| < 2^(-58.75)
 *
 *	For x in [0.5,1]
 *		asin(x) = pi/2-2*asin(sqrt((1-x)/2))
 *	Let y = (1-x), z = y/2, s := sqrt(z), and pio2_hi+pio2_lo=pi/2;
 *	then for x>0.98
 *		asin(x) = pi/2 - 2*(s+s*z*R(z))
 *			= pio2_hi - (2*(s+s*z*R(z)) - pio2_lo)
 *	For x<=0.98, let pio4_hi = pio2_hi/2, then
 *		f = hi part of s;
 *		c = sqrt(z) - f = (z-f*f)/(s+f) 	...f+c=sqrt(z)
 *	and
 *		asin(x) = pi/2 - 2*(s+s*z*R(z))
 *			= pio4_hi+(pio4-2s)-(2s*z*R(z)-pio2_lo)

arccos
~~~~~~
 * Method :
 *	acos(x)  = pi/2 - asin(x)
 *	acos(-x) = pi/2 + asin(x)
 * For |x|<=0.5
 *	acos(x) = pi/2 - (x + x*x^2*R(x^2))	(see asin.c)
 * For x>0.5
 * 	acos(x) = pi/2 - (pi/2 - 2asin(sqrt((1-x)/2)))
 *		= 2asin(sqrt((1-x)/2))
 *		= 2s + 2s*z*R(z) 	...z=(1-x)/2, s=sqrt(z)
 *		= 2f + (2c + 2s*z*R(z))
 *     where f=hi part of s, and c = (z-f*f)/(s+f) is the correction term
 *     for f so that f+c ~ sqrt(z).
 * For x<-0.5
 *	acos(x) = pi - 2asin(sqrt((1-|x|)/2))

atan2
~~~~~
 * Method :
 *	1. Reduce y to positive by atan2(y,x)=-atan2(-y,x).
 *	2. Reduce x to positive by (if x and y are unexceptional):
 *		ARG (x+iy) = arctan(y/x)   	   ... if x > 0,
 *		ARG (x+iy) = pi - arctan[y/(-x)]   ... if x < 0,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
atan
~~~~
 * Method
 *   1. Reduce x to positive by atan(x) = -atan(-x).
 *   2. According to the integer k=4t+0.25 chopped, t=x, the argument
 *      is further reduced to one of the following intervals and the
 *      arctangent of t is evaluated by the corresponding formula:
 *
 *      [0,7/16]      atan(x) = t-t^3*(a1+t^2*(a2+...(a10+t^2*a11)...)
 *      [7/16,11/16]  atan(x) = atan(1/2) + atan( (t-0.5)/(1+t/2) )
 *      [11/16.19/16] atan(x) = atan( 1 ) + atan( (t-1)/(1+t) )
 *      [19/16,39/16] atan(x) = atan(3/2) + atan( (t-1.5)/(1+1.5t) )
 *      [39/16,INF]   atan(x) = atan(INF) + atan( -1/t )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
exp
~~~
 * Method
 *   1. Argument reduction:
 *      Reduce x to an r so that |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658.
 *	Given x, find r and integer k such that
 *
 *               x = k*ln2 + r,  |r| <= 0.5*ln2.
 *
 *      Here r will be represented as r = hi-lo for better
 *	accuracy.
 *
 *   2. Approximation of exp(r) by a special rational function on
 *	the interval [0,0.34658]:
 *	Write
 *	    R(r**2) = r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2 + r*r/6 - r**4/360 + ...
 *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.34658] to generate
 * 	a polynomial of degree 5 to approximate R. The maximum error
 *	of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-59. In
 *	other words,
 *	    R(z) ~ 2.0 + P1*z + P2*z**2 + P3*z**3 + P4*z**4 + P5*z**5
 *  	(where z=r*r, and the values of P1 to P5 are listed below)
 *	and
 *	    |                  5          |     -59
 *	    | 2.0+P1*z+...+P5*z   -  R(z) | <= 2
 *	    |                             |
 *	The computation of exp(r) thus becomes
 *                             2*r
 *		exp(r) = 1 + -------
 *		              R - r
 *                                 r*R1(r)
 *		       = 1 + r + ----------- (for better accuracy)
 *		                  2 - R1(r)
 *	where
 *			         2       4             10
 *		R1(r) = r - (P1*r  + P2*r  + ... + P5*r   ).
 *
 *   3. Scale back to obtain exp(x):
 *	From step 1, we have
 *	   exp(x) = 2^k * exp(r)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hypot
~~~~~
 *	If (assume round-to-nearest) z=x*x+y*y
 *	has error less than sqrt(2)/2 ulp, than
 *	sqrt(z) has error less than 1 ulp (exercise).
 *
 *	So, compute sqrt(x*x+y*y) with some care as
 *	follows to get the error below 1 ulp:
 *
 *	Assume x>y>0;
 *	(if possible, set rounding to round-to-nearest)
 *	1. if x > 2y  use
 *		x1*x1+(y*y+(x2*(x+x1))) for x*x+y*y
 *	where x1 = x with lower 32 bits cleared, x2 = x-x1; else
 *	2. if x <= 2y use
 *		t1*y1+((x-y)*(x-y)+(t1*y2+t2*y))
 *	where t1 = 2x with lower 32 bits cleared, t2 = 2x-t1,
 *	y1= y with lower 32 bits chopped, y2 = y-y1.
 *
 *	NOTE: scaling may be necessary if some argument is too
 *	      large or too tiny

j0/y0
~~~~~
 * Method -- j0(x):
 *	1. For tiny x, we use j0(x) = 1 - x^2/4 + x^4/64 - ...
 *	2. Reduce x to |x| since j0(x)=j0(-x),  and
 *	   for x in (0,2)
 *		j0(x) = 1-z/4+ z^2*R0/S0,  where z = x*x;
 *	   (precision:  |j0-1+z/4-z^2R0/S0 |<2**-63.67 )

 * 		j0(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p0(x)*cos(x0)-q0(x)*sin(x0))
 * 	   where x0 = x-pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x0),cos(x0)
 *	   as follow:
 *		cos(x0) = cos(x)cos(pi/4)+sin(x)sin(pi/4)
 *			= 1/sqrt(2) * (cos(x) + sin(x))
 *		sin(x0) = sin(x)cos(pi/4)-cos(x)sin(pi/4)
 *			= 1/sqrt(2) * (sin(x) - cos(x))
 * 	   (To avoid cancellation, use
 *		sin(x) +- cos(x) = -cos(2x)/(sin(x) -+ cos(x))
 * 	    to compute the worse one.)
 *
 * Method -- y0(x):
 *	1. For x<2.
 *	   Since
 *		y0(x) = 2/pi*(j0(x)*(ln(x/2)+Euler) + x^2/4 - ...)
 *	   therefore y0(x)-2/pi*j0(x)*ln(x) is an even function.
 *	   We use the following function to approximate y0,
 *		y0(x) = U(z)/V(z) + (2/pi)*(j0(x)*ln(x)), z= x^2

 *		U(z) = u00 + u01*z + ... + u06*z^6
 *		V(z) = 1  + v01*z + ... + v04*z^4
 *	   with absolute approximation error bounded by 2**-72.
 *	   Note: For tiny x, U/V = u0 and j0(x)~1, hence
 *		y0(tiny) = u0 + (2/pi)*ln(tiny), (choose tiny<2**-27)
 *	2. For x>=2.
 * 		y0(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p0(x)*cos(x0)+q0(x)*sin(x0))
 * 	   where x0 = x-pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x0),cos(x0)

j1/y1
~~~~~
 * Method -- j1(x):
 *	1. For tiny x, we use j1(x) = x/2 - x^3/16 + x^5/384 - ...
 *	2. Reduce x to |x| since j1(x)=-j1(-x),  and
 *	   for x in (0,2)
 *		j1(x) = x/2 + x*z*R0/S0,  where z = x*x;
 *	   (precision:  |j1/x - 1/2 - R0/S0 |<2**-61.51 )
 *	   for x in (2,inf)
 * 		j1(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p1(x)*cos(x1)-q1(x)*sin(x1))
 * 		y1(x) = sqrt(2/(pi*x))*(p1(x)*sin(x1)+q1(x)*cos(x1))
 * 	   where x1 = x-3*pi/4. It is better to compute sin(x1),cos(x1)
 *	   as follow:
 *		cos(x1) =  cos(x)cos(3pi/4)+sin(x)sin(3pi/4)
 *			=  1/sqrt(2) * (sin(x) - cos(x))
 *		sin(x1) =  sin(x)cos(3pi/4)-cos(x)sin(3pi/4)

 *
 * Method -- y1(x):
 *	1. screen out x<=0 cases: y1(0)=-inf, y1(x<0)=NaN
 *	2. For x<2.
 *	   Since
 *		y1(x) = 2/pi*(j1(x)*(ln(x/2)+Euler)-1/x-x/2+5/64*x^3-...)
 *	   therefore y1(x)-2/pi*j1(x)*ln(x)-1/x is an odd function.
 *	   We use the following function to approximate y1,
 *		y1(x) = x*U(z)/V(z) + (2/pi)*(j1(x)*ln(x)-1/x), z= x^2
 *	   where for x in [0,2] (abs err less than 2**-65.89)

 *		V(z) = 1  + v0[0]*z + ... + v0[4]*z^5
 *	   Note: For tiny x, 1/x dominate y1 and hence
 *		y1(tiny) = -2/pi/tiny, (choose tiny<2**-54)

lgamma
~~~~~~
 * Method:
 *   1. Argument Reduction for 0 < x <= 8
 * 	Since gamma(1+s)=s*gamma(s), for x in [0,8], we may
 * 	reduce x to a number in [1.5,2.5] by
 * 		lgamma(1+s) = log(s) + lgamma(s)
 *	for example,
 *		lgamma(7.3) = log(6.3) + lgamma(6.3)
 *			    = log(6.3*5.3) + lgamma(5.3)
 *			    = log(6.3*5.3*4.3*3.3*2.3) + lgamma(2.3)
 *   2. Polynomial approximation of lgamma around its
 *	minimun ymin=1.461632144968362245 to maintain monotonicity.
 *	On [ymin-0.23, ymin+0.27] (i.e., [1.23164,1.73163]), use
 *		Let z = x-ymin;
 *		lgamma(x) = -1.214862905358496078218 + z^2*poly(z)
 *	where
 *		poly(z) is a 14 degree polynomial.
 *   2. Rational approximation in the primary interval [2,3]
 *	We use the following approximation:
 *		s = x-2.0;
 *		lgamma(x) = 0.5*s + s*P(s)/Q(s)
 *	with accuracy
 *		|P/Q - (lgamma(x)-0.5s)| < 2**-61.71
 *	Our algorithms are based on the following observation

 *
 *	where Euler = 0.5771... is the Euler constant, which is very
 *	close to 0.5.
 *
 *   3. For x>=8, we have
 *	lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)log(x)-x+0.5*log(2pi)+1/(12x)-1/(360x**3)+....
 *	(better formula:
 *	   lgamma(x)~(x-0.5)*(log(x)-1)-.5*(log(2pi)-1) + ...)
 *	Let z = 1/x, then we approximation

 *	by
 *	  			    3       5             11
 *		w = w0 + w1*z + w2*z  + w3*z  + ... + w6*z
 *	where
 *		|w - f(z)| < 2**-58.74
 *
 *   4. For negative x, since (G is gamma function)
 *		-x*G(-x)*G(x) = pi/sin(pi*x),
 * 	we have
 * 		G(x) = pi/(sin(pi*x)*(-x)*G(-x))
 *	since G(-x) is positive, sign(G(x)) = sign(sin(pi*x)) for x<0
 *	Hence, for x<0, signgam = sign(sin(pi*x)) and
 *		lgamma(x) = log(|Gamma(x)|)
 *			  = log(pi/(|x*sin(pi*x)|)) - lgamma(-x);
 *	Note: one should avoid compute pi*(-x) directly in the
 *	      computation of sin(pi*(-x)).

 *	    |                             |
 *	Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
 *	In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log

sqrt
~~~~
 * Method:
 *   Bit by bit method using integer arithmetic. (Slow, but portable)
 *   1. Normalization
 *	Scale x to y in [1,4) with even powers of 2:
 *	find an integer k such that  1 <= (y=x*2^(2k)) < 4, then
 *		sqrt(x) = 2^k * sqrt(y)
 *   2. Bit by bit computation
 *	Let q  = sqrt(y) truncated to i bit after binary point (q = 1),
 *	     i							 0
 *                                     i+1         2
 *	    s  = 2*q , and	y  =  2   * ( y - q  ).		(1)
 *	     i      i            i                 i
 *
 *	To compute q    from q , one checks whether
 *		    i+1       i
 *
 *			      -(i+1) 2
 *			(q + 2      ) <= y.			(2)
 *     			  i
 *							      -(i+1)
 *	If (2) is false, then q   = q ; otherwise q   = q  + 2      .
 *		 	       i+1   i             i+1   i
 *
 *	With some algebric manipulation, it is not difficult to see
 *	that (2) is equivalent to
 *                             -(i+1)
 *			s  +  2       <= y			(3)
 *			 i                i
 *
 *	The advantage of (3) is that s  and y  can be computed by
 *				      i      i
 *	the following recurrence formula:
 *	    if (3) is false
 *
 *	    s     =  s  ,	y    = y   ;			(4)
 *	     i+1      i		 i+1    i
 *
 *	    otherwise,
 *                         -i                     -(i+1)
 *	    s	  =  s  + 2  ,  y    = y  -  s  - 2  		(5)
 *           i+1      i          i+1    i     i
 *
 *	One may easily use induction to prove (4) and (5).
 *	Note. Since the left hand side of (3) contain only i+2 bits,
 *	      it does not necessary to do a full (53-bit) comparison
 *	      in (3).
 *   3. Final rounding
 *	After generating the 53 bits result, we compute one more bit.
 *	Together with the remainder, we can decide whether the
 *	result is exact, bigger than 1/2ulp, or less than 1/2ulp
 *	(it will never equal to 1/2ulp).
 *	The rounding mode can be detected by checking whether
 *	huge + tiny is equal to huge, and whether huge - tiny is
 *	equal to huge for some floating point number "huge" and "tiny".

 *	   since cos(x+y) ~ cos(x) - sin(x)*y
 *			  ~ cos(x) - x*y,

 *	   For better accuracy when x > 0.3, let qx = |x|/4 with

 *	   Then
 *		cos(x+y) = (1-qx) - ((x*x/2-qx) - (r-x*y)).
 *	   Note that 1-qx and (x*x/2-qx) is EXACT here, and the

expm1	Returns exp(x)-1, the exponential of x minus 1
~~~~~
 * Method
 *   1. Argument reduction:
 *	Given x, find r and integer k such that
 *
 *               x = k*ln2 + r,  |r| <= 0.5*ln2 ~ 0.34658
 *
 *      Here a correction term c will be computed to compensate
 *	the error in r when rounded to a floating-point number.
 *
 *   2. Approximating expm1(r) by a special rational function on
 *	the interval [0,0.34658]:
 *	Since
 *	    r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r^2/6 - r^4/360 + ...
 *	we define R1(r*r) by
 *	    r*(exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) = 2+ r^2/6 * R1(r*r)
 *	That is,
 *	    R1(r**2) = 6/r *((exp(r)+1)/(exp(r)-1) - 2/r)
 *		     = 6/r * ( 1 + 2.0*(1/(exp(r)-1) - 1/r))
 *		     = 1 - r^2/60 + r^4/2520 - r^6/100800 + ...
 *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.347] to generate
 * 	a polynomial of degree 5 in r*r to approximate R1. The
 *	maximum error of this polynomial approximation is bounded
 *	by 2**-61. In other words,
 *	    R1(z) ~ 1.0 + Q1*z + Q2*z**2 + Q3*z**3 + Q4*z**4 + Q5*z**5
 *	where 	Q1  =  -1.6666666666666567384E-2,
 * 		Q2  =   3.9682539681370365873E-4,
 * 		Q3  =  -9.9206344733435987357E-6,

 *  	(where z=r*r, and the values of Q1 to Q5 are listed below)
 *	with error bounded by
 *	    |                  5           |     -61
 *	    | 1.0+Q1*z+...+Q5*z   -  R1(z) | <= 2
 *	    |                              |
 *
 *	expm1(r) = exp(r)-1 is then computed by the following
 * 	specific way which minimize the accumulation rounding error:
 *			       2     3
 *			      r     r    [ 3 - (R1 + R1*r/2)  ]
 *	      expm1(r) = r + --- + --- * [--------------------]
 *		              2     2    [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ]
 *
 *	To compensate the error in the argument reduction, we use
 *		expm1(r+c) = expm1(r) + c + expm1(r)*c
 *			   ~ expm1(r) + c + r*c
 *	Thus c+r*c will be added in as the correction terms for
 *	expm1(r+c). Now rearrange the term to avoid optimization
 * 	screw up:
 *		        (      2                                    2 )
 *		        ({  ( r    [ R1 -  (3 - R1*r/2) ]  )  }    r  )
 *	 expm1(r+c)~r - ({r*(--- * [--------------------]-c)-c} - --- )
 *	                ({  ( 2    [ 6 - r*(3 - R1*r/2) ]  )  }    2  )
 *                      (                                             )
 *
 *		   = r - E
 *   3. Scale back to obtain expm1(x):
 *	From step 1, we have
 *	   expm1(x) = either 2^k*[expm1(r)+1] - 1
 *		    = or     2^k*[expm1(r) + (1-2^-k)]
 *   4. Implementation notes:
 *	(A). To save one multiplication, we scale the coefficient Qi
 *	     to Qi*2^i, and replace z by (x^2)/2.
 *	(B). To achieve maximum accuracy, we compute expm1(x) by
 *	  (i)   if x < -56*ln2, return -1.0, (raise inexact if x!=inf)
 *	  (ii)  if k=0, return r-E
 *	  (iii) if k=-1, return 0.5*(r-E)-0.5
 *        (iv)	if k=1 if r < -0.25, return 2*((r+0.5)- E)

 *	  (vi)  if k <= 20, return 2^k((1-2^-k)-(E-r)), else

 * Special cases:

 *	expm1(-INF) is -1, and
 *	for finite argument, only expm1(0)=0 is exact.

log1p
~~~~~
 * Method :
 *   1. Argument Reduction: find k and f such that
 *			1+x = 2^k * (1+f),
 *	   where  sqrt(2)/2 < 1+f < sqrt(2) .
 *
 *      Note. If k=0, then f=x is exact. However, if k!=0, then f
 *	may not be representable exactly. In that case, a correction
 *	term is need. Let u=1+x rounded. Let c = (1+x)-u, then
 *	log(1+x) - log(u) ~ c/u. Thus, we proceed to compute log(u),
 *	and add back the correction term c/u.
 *	(Note: when x > 2**53, one can simply return log(x))
 *
 *   2. Approximation of log1p(f).
 *	Let s = f/(2+f) ; based on log(1+f) = log(1+s) - log(1-s)
 *		 = 2s + 2/3 s**3 + 2/5 s**5 + .....,
 *	     	 = 2s + s*R
 *      We use a special Reme algorithm on [0,0.1716] to generate
 * 	a polynomial of degree 14 to approximate R The maximum error
 *	of this polynomial approximation is bounded by 2**-58.45. In
 *	other words,
 *		        2      4      6      8      10      12      14
 *	    R(z) ~ Lp1*s +Lp2*s +Lp3*s +Lp4*s +Lp5*s  +Lp6*s  +Lp7*s
 *  	(the values of Lp1 to Lp7 are listed in the program)
 *	and
 *	    |      2          14          |     -58.45
 *	    | Lp1*s +...+Lp7*s    -  R(z) | <= 2
 *	    |                             |
 *	Note that 2s = f - s*f = f - hfsq + s*hfsq, where hfsq = f*f/2.
 *	In order to guarantee error in log below 1ulp, we compute log
 *	by
 *		log1p(f) = f - (hfsq - s*(hfsq+R)).
 *
 *	3. Finally, log1p(x) = k*ln2 + log1p(f).
 *		 	     = k*ln2_hi+(f-(hfsq-(s*(hfsq+R)+k*ln2_lo)))
 *	   Here ln2 is split into two floating point number:
 *			ln2_hi + ln2_lo,
 *	   where n*ln2_hi is always exact for |n| < 2000.
