yes, this is wrong on the webpage but issems a converter bug.
when i look at the page in ascii i see: ((1+x)**n-1)/x.
the same problem arises on other place like:
These functions shall compute ex-1.0.
should read: e**x-1.0
NTL: thx for info

Betreff: expm1(3p): Mathematical error in given example
Hi there!
In the APPLICATION USAGE section of expm1(3p)[1] the given example is wrong:
===8<=== Snip =========================================
[..] calculations of ((1+x)n-1)/x, namely:
expm1(n * log1p(x))/x
======== Snap ====================================>8===
Actually, both expressions are not equal, rather
expm1(n * log1p(x))/x = ((1+x)**n - 1)/x
(with a fictional ** as power infix-operator) would be.
Best regards
