As of Model 204 7.5, SOUL provides the following high-performance, high-precision versions of the IBM mathematical functions. These functions eliminate the need to use external math libraries.
Your site could choose to use an external library instead of these integrated $functions. In such a case, these $functions would result in calls to the external library. To set up use of an external math library, contact Technical Support.
Before Model 204 7.5, these $functions were available as part of the Sirius Mods.
See Notation conventions for methods for information about the conventions followed in the method descriptions.
