Description of the author: 

"Regmath is a pair of function libraries which provide a wide array of 
transcendental functions. RxMath is meant to be compatible with the IBM 
RxMath library, while rexxmath is meant to be compatible with an amigaRexx 
math library. In both cases, the function libraries convert rexx variables 
to binary format and call system math libraries to perform calculations. 
This approach favours performance at the expense of precision. For the 
benefit of people who require arbitrary precision, I've included John 
Brock's rxxmath library, which is written in Rexx and performs arbitrary 
precision calculations (hence the description `Bumper Pack'). 

The package includes compiled versions for win32 and OS/2, and a manual 
which is at once shorter and more informative than IBM's manual, and 
includes three illustrations, two of them in colour. It also uses the word 
`disquisition' in its ironic sense, which I believe is the first for a 
software manual."
