And applications, like formulas and math functions.

This -

(defun distance-point (min max)
  (+ min (/ (- max min) 2.0)) )

- or special, fun things. This even has the name arithmetic in
it. Well, almost.

(defun arith-sum (n)
  (cl-loop
    with sum = 0
    for i from 1 to (1- n)
    do (cl-incf sum i)
    finally return sum) )

(Hm - there are many ways to solve that, and this is fine by
all means.)

You can also compare Emacs arithmetic capabilities with what
you find in a book. Do we have everything? Or do we want more?
That is where it begins.
