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.
