I disagree, in the (yes, specific) context of DLMF they're clearly looking for "numerical evaluation for double-precision float arguments" thought it's true we can (and often do) provide much more. This in itself could be summarized by a table. - Robert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
