Hi,

In order to test a (precise and very fast) library of transcendental
functions, together with a graphical interface for real-time analysis,
selected functions are being made available to the public for evaluation and
critique. Currently you may enjoy the marvels of the:

Gamma Function - Γ(x)

The computer program runs in MS DOS or Windows on standard x86 machines
with an FPU and SVGA (VESA standard). Detailed specifications and GUI
description are available at: www.iging.com/Transcendental.

Your constructive feedback is very much appreciated.

This is most definitely a troll, and probably a virus or other nasty
critter. The poster has not a clue about the state-of-the-art, the
existing open-source scientific libraries, or how to write or distribute
code in the modern world (e.g. such a function MUST be a library, not an
executable).

I suggest you avoid this like the plague it quite likely is.

Don't expect many people to try out a .EXE file from someone they don't know.

Some people don't notice that their newsreader describes the actual name of
the file that is going to be invoked, when they place the pointer over a
disguised link. So he'll get some suckers to help him send spam, or
whatever.

No you don't need a library, I can compute the gamma function
to high accuracy using a short qBasic program, the equation is,

oo
GAMMA(s)= $ x^(s-1) e^-x dx
0

that's a simple step/sum/interation.

PS: I do agree downloading an executable is not good.
Hopefully the OP will be back, he seems honest to me.

Roberts' paranoia is scarcely justified when there is a tracable source.
I put the code through a debugger and it's clean.

How could anyone believe that *you* are able to use a debugger ?

Evaluating this integral is very slow and inacurate. You
better calculate 1/Gamma(x)... Anyway, with my Gamma function
we are talking 17 decimal digits precision and function calculation
time of about 5E-7 secons (on a AMD Athlon 1700+, 1.43 GHz).

A library is a collection of computational tools (object files).
When you write a computer program (in any language except Assembly),
you have to use libraries that translate your simple one-line-
problem-presentation into procedures that are meaningful to the
hardware.

Using my libraries would allow you to use a one-liner like:

y = Gamma(x) [or Gamma(ReZ,ImZ) for a complex number Z]

P.S. I'm aware of the computer-pests problem. But what can we do?
All computer programs are executables. However, small DOS programs
can not infect Windows with viruses or other such vermine. D.B.

The only thing to be done about such problems is use a good up to date
virus program and avoid running executeables from unknown sources.

This last piece of misinformation doesn't inspire confidence.

Well, using a debugger is surely the simplest thing on earth.
But does he know what the assembler he gets really means?
