Synopsis

Usage:

inverseErf y
Inputs:
- y, a real number,
Outputs:
- a real number, the inverse error function of y;

Description

i1 : erf 2

o1 = .995322265018953

o1 : RR (of precision 53)

i2 : inverseErf oo

o2 = 2

o2 : RR (of precision 53)

Caveat

This function always returns a double precision real number (53 bits) regardless of the precision of its arguments.
