That is the problem with using Ada for scientific software.
The language is great for scientific software implementation, but it comes
with limited number of related functions ready to use.
It is not practical for someone to implement these functions from scratch
each time they want to use one in their scientific application. It takes a
long time to develop robust mathematical functions.
Is it not possible to link to some C library which has the implementation of
this function? I am sure there is some C code out there which does this.
Write a binding to it?
