I have been concentrating on Axiom's numerical capabilities. I am making a set of regression tests against the published values in Abramowitz and Stegun (1965). You might find it interesting to run these same tests in Sage. I can send them to anyone who would like to volunteer. They are basically the published table values versus the computed values. For instance, one row reads:
[0.01, 0.00999983333416666468254, sin(0.01), sin(0.01)-0.00999983333416666468254] where the first entry is the point, the second entry is the A&S table value, the third entry is a function call, and the fourth entry is the computed difference. I'm a member of the Numerical Mathematics Consortium (http://www.nmconsortium.org).A recently published draft standard, which I'm reviewing, is available at: <http://www.nmconsortium.org/docs/NMC_Technical_Specification%20(9-24-2007).pdf> You might find it useful to track these standards.
