Fixes #2.
Some of the approximations yielded crazy answers for inputs that they weren't designed to deal with, such as
ln
giving 10^40 for inputs near 0.3 (the real answer is about -1.2).This fixes it simply, by adding if statements and transforming it to numbers in the reasonable domain of the approximations. For
ln
, for example, it computes the log of numbers less than 1 by doing-ln(1/x)
.Not all the functions are modified; just the ones I needed to fix edge cases for to use.
Here's my reasoning behind what I changed:

test suite results have not changed
