1This is bcmath, a library of arbitrary precision math routines. 2These routines, in a different form, are the routines that to 3the arbitrary precision calculations for GNU bc and GNU dc. 4 5This library is provided to make these routines useful in a 6larger context with less restrictions on the use of them. 7 8These routines do not duplicate functionality of the GNU gmp 9library. gmp is similar, but the actual computation is different. 10
