In general, no.
- notorandit 7mo agoIt's about symbolic computation more than calculations.
- eru 7mo agoYes, and it's not all that useful there either. Eg ln is a rather complicated construct, it's not even a function. That's because for complex numbers, e^x is not bijective, and thus its inverse ain't a function. So using that complicated construct to define something simpler like addition invites extra complexity.
