There's nothing special about the math; mathematicians have long termed these functions as "special functions". Because C++ also uses "special functions" as a different term of art (referring to copy c'tors, d'tors, etc.), we disambiguate by prefixing "mathematical".

Yes I was going to make this change myself. This also makes the subclause title consistent with the IS that the functions came from, "Extensions to the C++ Library to Support Mathematical Special Functions." Thanks for finding all the spots to change. |
