then one can make a table, for example:

(%i6) ntable (func, x0, dx, xf):= 
block([nL, fL, nfL, jj, ii],
   nL : makelist (zz, zz, x0, xf, dx),
   fL : map ('func, nL),
   nfL : makelist ( ["  ", nL[jj], "  ", fL[jj] ], jj, length(nL)),
   for ii thru length (nfL) do apply ('print, nfL[ii]))$

(%i7) ntable ( 'f, 2, 2, 10)$

   2    0.80395247146645 
   4    2.307860373006648 
   6    3.188145387618254 
   8    4.049252091167718 
   10    4.843537149824256 

(%i8) time(%);

(%o8) [1.64]
