.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BI expm1( x )
|
|
returns a value equivalent to `exp (\fIx\fP) \- 1'.
|
|
It is
|
|
computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of \fIx\fP is near
|
|
zero\(ema case where `exp (\fIx\fP) \- 1' would be inaccurate due to
|
|
subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.
|
|

The
