Suggestions For New Features On Math Module of Apache Commons
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MATH-168
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-168
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.1
Reporter: Sunburned Surveyor
Priority: Trivial
I would like to suggest a couple of additions to the Math module. I am
currently working on code for an alternative to the BigDecimal class that
allows for precise mathematical calculations. The PreciseNumber class and
related classes allow for manipulation of digits in a floating point number to
be manipulated in a manner similar to characters in a String. It also allows
the fractional part and whole part of a number to be manipulated independently.
The class also stores information about precision, significant digits, and
allows leading a trailing zeros to be stored and manipulated.
I'd also like to see a number class representing a double between greater than
zero but less than 1.
I also have been doing some work on classes to represent angles, bearings,
azimuths, vectors, and directions.
I know there is concern about bloating the commons libraries, so I understand
if there is no room for this code. :] I just wanted to follow up on a post I
made to the commons mailing list.
