It is true that computer math libraries that deal with the exponential
functions are rather slow but this is
a function of using very archaic and long routine calculations which are
time-consuming and energy wasting. If a more time-efficient method for
calculating exponential functions can be found and then coded into a
computer math library then this will save a lot of time for many
mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists who use these
exponential function libraries a lot. This author presents a new method
of calculating exponential functions which is both accurate and
time-saving. We no longer need to rely on time-saving approximations of
exponential functions. We can now use time-saving accurate calculations
of exponential functions and this could indeed change the field
computational science.
There is a relationship between exponential functions and logarithms.
The power of logarithms as a computational device lies in the fact that
by them multiplication and division are reduced to the simpler
operations of addition and subtraction.
