#	Notes:
#
#	Formerly add() and multiply() were used to construct expressions but
#	this preevaluation caused problems.
#
#	For example, suppose A has the floating point value inf.
#
#	Before, the expression A/A resulted in 1 because the scanner would
#	divide the symbols.
#
#	After removing add() and multiply(), A/A results in nan which is the
#	correct result.
#
#	The functions negate() and inverse() are used but they do not cause
#	problems with preevaluation of symbols.
