Fully agreed at this point. But the question was how to get reliable math
in IDL. Worse than spending time on programming is providing wrong data
and procedures. If your experiment/group/department uses your code based
on bad math in IDL then your are stuck and your colleages come up with:
There several ready to use libaries (IMSL, NAG, ...) why dont you use
them.
