I want to be able to display potentially a large number of decimal places in the result (hundreds at least).
Explanation and many links to libs:

Any lib written in C or with C bindings would work in Objective-C.
Or look at the source for 'dc':

Thanks - interesting stuff. Definitely beyond my capabilities at the moment! I have taken a look at the MAPM homepage (http://www.tc.umn.edu/~ringx004/mapm-main.html ) and if I have some time I may try to see if I can compile that library on my Mac.

For now, I think I will rethink my ambitions in this area!
