> 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.
