== multiple additions vs. multiplication ==
(Regarding the ''extra credit'' part of the task.)
Has anybody done more research on performing '''N''' additions versus multiplication (as the '''EchoLisp''' example has done?
There certainly seems to be a difference on how the ''multiplication'' is implemented. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:25, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Initially, I performed '''N''' additions (via the '''add''' function) and kept getting much different results than the other programming examples (for 12345 repetitions).
I think it would be beneficial if the first ten multiples (1 ──► 12) would be shown so we could compare ''true addition'' via ''multiplicative'' results. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:32, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
==First formula now invisible on standard OS X browsers==
May need tidying up to achieve formula visibility on the OS X platform. Problems may include flanking of LateX expressions with redundant white space inside <math> tags [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 13:25, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
