There are probably some open math bugs in glibc Bugzilla (and of course 
bugs in other areas as well) that don't involve such complexities 
(although some bugs do involve such complexities - and some old bugs may 
have been open for so long *because* something is tricky about addressing 
them).  And fixing different bugs is a good way to learn your way around 
different parts of glibc without needing to engage with lots of different 
complexities all at the same time.
