Abstract
At its inception, Prolog was not intended to be a language for arithmetic calculation and early versions were distinctly ill-equipped in this respect. There was a restriction to positive integer arithmetic. There was an absence of the kind of mathematical functions essential to the applied sciences such as the trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. Nonetheless Prolog has always had the potential to define predicates for evaluating such functions.
