AutoNumerics-Zero: Automated Discovery of State-of-the-Art Mathematical Functions

ArXi:2312.08472v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Transcendental functions, such as the exponential, are central to scientific computing, yet they cannot be natively calculated by digital hardware. Instead, computers must approximate these functions by combining basic operations, such as \times, \di\}$, using methods like Taylor series. These methods were developed over centuries by mathematicians, who focused on approaches that could attain arbitrary accuracy.
