math.expm1() function	`math.expm1()` returns `e**x - 1`, the base-e exponential of `x` minus 1. It is more accurate than `math.exp(x:x) - 1` when `x` is near zero.	flux_0_x_ref name parent identifier math.expm1 math math/expm1	101

math.expm1() returns e**x - 1, the base-e exponential of x minus 1. It is more accurate than math.exp(x:x) - 1 when x is near zero.
