Because no one bothered. This is all trivial stuff. These math "problems" have already been solved multiple times. That you think this is a "programming challenge" just shows how utterly clueless you are. Hint: people were doing this 60 years ago on mainframes using Fortran. That you have only now discovered this proves AGAIN how utterly clueless you are. What's next? Compute Pi to a million decimal places? That also has already been done many times. Sounds like another great "programming challenge" for your feeble brain.
