Nope. You should not use Ada.Numerics.Aux (which a GNAT unit) but
Ada.Numerics.[Generic_]Elementary_Functions. You should BTW use
a Reference Manual and use only things that are define there. Do
not use compiler extention in an Ada course.

BTW, you should write 'Ada' this way and not 'ADA'.

Pascal.
