bdeket eea771ea64 improve accuracy of tanh function (#2565)
improve accuracy of tanh function

using the implementation of https://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/ieee/tanh.pdf

by changing from (/ (- 1 exp2z) (+ 1 exp2z)) to (- 1 (/ 2 (+ 1 exp2z)) the accuracy after rounding is increased (I was comparing with bftanh) and removes the fluctuations around z=18.35
using the polynomial for z ϵ(1.290e-8 to 0.549) seems to increase the accuracy after rounding even further
see comparison: http://pasterack.org/pastes/48436

especially the fact that  (< (tanh 18.36)(tanh 18.37)) ;=> #t was tripping me up
the two extra conditions (z . < . 1.29e-8) and (z . < . 0.549) are optional to solve this

This is the source code for the core of Racket. See "INSTALL.txt" for full information on building Racket.

To build the full Racket distribution from this repository, run make in the top-level directory. To build minimal Racket, run make base.

The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.
