Description:

Example 1:

   > print(simplify(sin(pi * x)));
   sin(3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937508 * x)
   > print(simplify(erf(exp(3) + x * log(4))));
   erf(2.00855369231876677409285296545817178969879078385544e1 + x * 1.3862943611198906188344642429163531361510002687205)

Example 2:

   > prec = 20!;
   > t = erf(0.5);
