Gilles Sadowski commented on NUMBERS-203:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for pointing out "113 bits vs 106 bits".
Perhaps the link to the "quadruple-precision" article would be useful in the
Javadoc as a "caveat".
It's great that "Commons Numbers" provides higher-precision so that users don't
have to worry about the implementation and just try out whether it helps with
their actual application. :-)
Would it make sense to create a new "field" module in "Commons Math" whose
scope would be implementations of miscellaneous algorithms based on the "Field"
interface? A low-priority "new feature" that could be (?) an interesting first
task for a would-be contributor...
