I'm working on a personal project that requires math to at least 200 significant digits. Believe it or not there is a huge difference between:
0.999999999999999999999^2e20 = 0.81873075307...
and
0.99999999999999999999^2e20 = 0.13533528323...
But double precision only recognizes
0.9999999999999999
I downloaded an arbitrary precision math package, MAPM. It has all the source code and header files, but dropping the load into the source folder and using #include <MAPM.H> in my application doesn't work.
I am sure it is just something I am missing. I don't know how to get Xcode to recognize the library for compiling.
Could someone explain how to do that.
Also, I am not married to MAPM if someone knows a simpler math package that is already installed in Xcode, perhaps.
