Rather than spending the time to re-invent the wheel, I thought
I would check here first to see if anyone had some source or a
good reference on how to parse a function as input. I would like
to be able to have someone enter a function (say restricted to the
standard arithmetic operations and sin, cos, exp, sqr, log, etc)
while a program is running and then be able to evaluate that function
at however many points might be later specified.

Thanks for any assistance.
