Description

Sample code for Advanced Computation Group (ACG) document at: <http://images.apple.com/acg/pdf/20070219_mpfloat5.pdf>

Demonstrates the use of two software packages (gmp and arprec) which facilitate floating point arithmetic with arbitrary precision (thousands or even millions of digits) on Mac OS X. Both packages are available on the Internet free of charge, though their use in commercial applications is limited by license restrictions. Configuration and installation of each package is discussed, and common uses of the packages are illustrated.
