Mathematical function suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
Erf z 0 z 1 is given by.
Then i tried defining the function as exp log z 2 log erfc i z but this turns out to not be any faster than with automatic switching so it seems hard to speed this up except as daniel lichtblau suggests acl jul 24 11 at 23 46.
I tried playing with setsystemoptions catchmachineunderflow false which however results in getting 0.
