Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.4

    \[\left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot u2\right) + 0.5\]

  2. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{(\left(\cos \left(u2 \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)\right) \cdot \left(\frac{{\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}}{6}\right) + 0.5)_*}\]
  3. Using strategy rm

  4. Applied add-exp-log0.4

    \[\leadsto (\left(\cos \left(u2 \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(e^{\log \left(\frac{{\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}}{6}\right)}\right)} + 0.5)_*\]

  5. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto (\left(\cos \left(\left(\pi \cdot 2\right) \cdot u2\right)\right) \cdot \left(e^{\log \left(\frac{{\left(-2 \cdot \log u1\right)}^{0.5}}{6}\right)}\right) + 0.5)_*\]
