The above was really just a list of 4 examples. I did
not intend to imply any overlap of the list.

But there is an overlap. Pi can be calculated by both
a trigonometric and a logarithmic function.

$ type pi.for
       program pi
       implicit none
       write(*,*) dacos(-1.0d0)
       write(*,*) cdlog((-1.0d0,0.0d0))/cdsqrt((-1.0d0,0.0d0))
       end
$ link pi
$ run pi
   3.14159265358979
(3.14159265358979,0.000000000000000E+000)
