Some functions are only recognized by the symbolic processor. I am looking for a way to encapsulate some of these functions so they are available to the numeric processor via a normal function call. An example with one such function - Si(x) - is shown in the attachments, with various schemes I have tried. The element-by-element approach in item 2 works for assigning values to an array of arguments, but is a bit more awkward than I prefer. My attempts at defining a function in items 4-6 haven't worked.
Is there a way to define a function that is recognized by the numeric processor that does effectively what is in item 4, but works? If it can be done for a scalar, then I would assume that vectorizing this function would allow evaluation with array arguments, since the symbolic encapsulation is isolated in the scalar function definition.
