Implementations of the error function erf(x) and the complementary error
function erfc(x).
Method: following 'Numerical Recipes' by Flannery, Press et. al. (2nd ed.,
Cambridge University Press), we use a series approximation for erf for
small x, and a continued fraction approximation for erfc(x) for larger x;
Method: we use a series approximation for erf for small x, and a continued
fraction approximation for erfc(x) for larger x;
combined with the relations erf(-x) = -erf(x) and erfc(x) = 1.0 - erf(x),
this gives us erf(x) and erfc(x) for all x.
