“…The ACM SIGAda Numerics Working Group and the Ada-Europe Numerics Working Group have worked together closely since then. Interim reports on the work of the former committee were presented in 1987 at the International Conference on the Ada Programming Language [15] and in 1988 at the Sandia Workshop on Ada in Real-Time and Scientific Environments [4,19]. Various drafts of the working papers that eventually resulted in the present proposal were circulated, and the response to them has been enthusiastic.…”

This paper supplements the "Proposed Standard for a Generic Package of Elementary Functions for Ada," written by the ISO-IEC/JTC1/SC22/WG9 (Ada) Numerics Rapporteur Group. Based on recommendations made jointly by the ACM SIGAda Numerics Working Group and the Ada-Europe Numerics Working Group, the proposed elementary functions standard is the first of several anticipated collateral standards to address the interrelated issues of portability, efficiency, and robustness of numerical software written in Ada. Organized as a series of questions and answers, this supplement outlines the reasoning by which the proposed standard came to acquire certain features and exclude others.

“…This undesirable situation led to the pioneering works of [15] and [14] and the more recent work by the SIGAda Numerics Working Group which proposes a standard specification for a package of elementary functions for Ada [18] and [13]. At present, the proposal is on its way through a hierarchy of committees toward achieving the status of a secondary ISO standard.…”

A comprehensive set of elementary functions has been implemented portably in Ada. The high accuracy of the implementation has been confirmed by rigorous analysis. Moreover, we present new test methods that are efficient and offer a high resolution of 0.005 unit in the last place. These test methods have been implemented portably here and confirm the accuracy of our implemented functions. Reports on the accuracy of other function libraries obtained by our test programs are also presented.
