[Numpy-discussion] element wise help

[Chris Colbert]

its part of a larger program for designing PID controllers. This particular
function numerical calculates the inverse laplace transform using riemann
sums.

The exec statements, from what i gather, allow the follow eval statement to
be executed in the scope of numpy and its functions. I don't get how it
works either, but it doesnt work without it.

I've just about got something working using broadcasting and will post it
soon.
