add, sub, mult, etc are meant to be low level routines between
two paramaters.  You can always string together multiple adds:

add(add(s1,s2),s3)

or create a multi-add function (madd):

def madd(a):
   sum = 0
   for i in range(len(a)):
      if i == 0:
         sum = a[i]
      else:
         sum = add(sum, a[i])
   return sum

and call it with:

madd(a[multiple=true])
