Abstract
This paper describes a prototype tool for inverting tabular representations of mathematical functions, providing the motivation for its construction, some discussion of its use, and a sketch of its implementation. 1 Introduction This paper describes a prototype tool for inverting tabular representations of mathematical functions, providing the motivation for its construction, some discussion of its use, and a sketch of its implementation. Table transformation tools of the type discussed here are intended to be useful in the documentation of complex computer systems. 1.1 Functional documentation of computer systems The importance of having precise documentation for software products is clear to all experienced software developers.
