That's another function I'll vote for: 'sum'. I've run into a need for it
several times before, but because writing the function for it each time was
trivial, it hadn't come to mind.

And I can see the need for the statistical and arccos, etc. functions. But
perhaps they'd be better placed in an 'advmath.e' library? I'm sure they're
commonly used, but only when serious math is needed. Then again, there
doesn't seem to be a large number of these functions, so perhaps placing
them with the more elementary ones wouldn't be too cumbersome...

    I vote for any of these that don't currently exist.
Many of these should be rather trivial to implement. But still handy
if they where already in a standard math.e.
