DESCRIPTION
       The erf(), erff(), and erfl() functions return the error function of x, where erf(x), erff(x), and erfl(x)  equal  (2/sqrt(pi))	times  the
       area under the curve e**(-t**2) between 0 and x.

       The  erfc(), erfcf(),  and erfcl() functions return (1.0 - erf(x)).  The erfc() function can result in an underflow as x gets large.  delim
