Implementing this will unblock a lot of packages, but it will take some time and is on a difficult side. Requesting new comers to avoid unless they have added C implementation for atleast 5 math functions ( feel confident enough ).

@Pranavchiku I would like to work on this issue.

Hey, @Pranavchiku I have added C implementations for a few math functions, and I have a fair understanding of the code flow. I would like to contribute to this issue.
Pranavchiku commentedon Mar 3, 2024
@Pratik772846 you may feel free to pick over any of easy math packages, this will be tricky for you at moment. I'll let @aman-095 give a shot to this.

I have implementation ready for this, but it requires C implementation of is-even and is-odd functions. Should I go ahead and implement these two as well?
Pranavchiku commentedon Mar 3, 2024
Ahh, I might have missed out checking those, it will be fairly simple, proceed and get those done.

Hey @aman-095, are you still working on this ?
aman-095 commentedon Mar 18, 2024
Yes @gunjjoshi , I am working on this.
