The simp package contains very few, simple arithmetic operations, supports only scalar intervals and does not consider errors introduced by inaccurate built-in arithmetic functions, conversion and representational errors.
The simp package contains a few, simple arithmetic operations on scalar intervals. It does not consider inaccurate built-in arithmetic functions, round-off, conversion and representational errors. As a result its syntax is very easy, but the arithmetic fails to produce guaranteed enclosures.


It is recommended to use the interval package as a replacement for simp. However, function names and interval constructors are not compatible between the packages.
