cal operations (for example, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) combined with flow constructs (if statements and loops). As such, even simple problems such as evaluating the exponential function may be difficult compu-tationally. Example 1.1 Consider the problem Pdefined by the evaluation of the exponen-tial function z = exp(x).
