What type of options are available in Cocoa (or C) to support
arithmetic and trigonometric operations on large numbers (i.e. numbers
with thousands or even millions of digits)? It appears that a 'double'
in Cocoa works OK until it approaches around 15 digits of accuracy.
After that, then things might start going wrong. Are there any GNU or
freely available packages for large number support?
There's the GNU MP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic
(
