cos_pi powm1 sin_pi sqrt1pm1

powm1() function powm1 ( x::Real  , y::Real    ) x^y - 1 Purpose powm1 evaluates x^y - 1 accurately in the sense of relative error when y is very small or x is close to 1. Returns Float64 x^y - 1. Parameters [in] x Argument x. [in] y Argument y. Error handling Range error (ERANGE) may occur. Reference boost/math/special_functions
